Dog bombs on lawns
« on: March 14, 2020, 04:41:54 PM »
We have family staying who have a dog.
Having just mowed the lawn, hitting quite a few nasties, I was somewhat peeved at the lack of poo patrols that had been promised.
Thinking of getting in a mowing service, I wondered if they charge extra for hitting bombs?
Cheers

You searious?
Someone stays at your place with a dog and they don't pick up after their dog?
Fark, just image what their place is like.
You don't need people like that in your life.
Sorry, If that sounds harsh, but Geez.

It depends, some will not do it if you haven't cleaned up. A place I worked many years ago did the gardens for a house where the kids were supposed to pick up the turds but never did, apparently, they were almost the size of cow patties. So one time the guy on the mower decided to leave them all in place but neatly mow each and everyone, after that the boss got a call that their services were no longer required, to which all the workers were very happy about.

Bottom line, get them to pick up the turds, tell them that it's either that or the dog has to go.

We find the landmines vary from our dog, depending on her food... the Cobber Working dog seems to break down quickly, but some of the other foods take ages... and depending on how the jungle is growing (and where she has left them) they do get missed...

She's got some bones buried around the yard at the moment (well, we assume so, as we can't see them) so she tends to have a bit of a different consistency to her landmines at the moment as she finds her snacks and has a chomp on them.

But certainly not fair on someone else to mow around/over or clear them up...

I grow up in South Africa and the one year we bought some lion poo fertiliser at the Kruger National Park.
We sprayed it on the front lawn and no dog came even close to the lawn for months!
The neighbors did not like it since the dogs were all pooing on their lawns to mark their territory

Cut some holes in a suitable size garbage bag for the dogs legs and tail,  then zip tie the dog  into it . No more mutt mines ..
Might or might not get the message through .

Hi,
    Normally, poo patrol has a doggie bag in the bin, as would be expected. The lawn was a bit long too, and it is not exactly a manicured back yard, with some building and earthworks still in progress as a retirement project to keep me off the streets.
The original post was curiosity as to the protocol for commercial mowing.
The post about the neat mowing around the doings was, I thought, a stroke of genius. Subtle, spiced with a touch of "up yours ".
Cheers

Ha ha,
That makes sense, years ago a workmate living in a rural residential area had problems with a neighbours dog raiding the rubbish bin. He tried everything, including the bin on a pallet and electric fence connected to the bin. The dog learnt to listen to the ticking and still got to the bin. Ignoring suggestions to employ 40 grains of lead, somebody told him to use lion poo. So when the circus came to Townsville, he rocked up with a bucket. A bit of smelly smearing later no more dog problems.

Our neighbours have a Great Dane and last year they got some renovations done at the back of the house. To say they are lazy is an understatement as they only gets the lawns mowed every 3 months in summer when the weeds are 6-foot-tall and they also don’t pick up dog bombs from their own yard.

I felt so sorry for these tradesmen as every day I heard someone cursing after stepping is dog poo and that side of the house just stunk from disturbed dog poo for the length of the reno.

I did a couple of days on a council crew out mowing footpaths etc many years ago, It was in summer and you can't help but hit a few hidden dog turds. Whilst you can hold your breath as you are engulfed by the dust cloud the ride on made out of the dried out nuggets, so as to not breath it in, you can't do anything but watch as that dust settles on you to form a thin layer of now fully rehydrated dog turd over any exposed bits of skin.
