Effective dog deterrents
Was tempted to piggyback off the other thread, but this is slightly different since local dog owners are leaving shit behind in my front yard. I've tried talking to some of the dog owners, but they would either pretend they didn't see it or they didn't bring a bag and continue to do it next time when they think no one is watching. There's a variety of different coloured and shaped dog poop, so we're certain there's more than one dog. Before it was negligible and once in awhile, but this year has been really bad, since pandemic puppies are all the rage. I'm ready to start flinging shit with a shovel.
It doesn't help that I'm at a corner lot with no sidewalks, so dog walkers treat my front yard as a park. Heck, I've seen parents with kids treat it like a park, but at least they don't leave poo and pee behind. Fencing it off doesn't help much since there's a wide strip of government land that I still have to maintain and they'd probably continue to do it there. I've heard that bushes and rocks are natural barriers, but those dogs proceed to pee and poo where the rocks and bushes are. Are there any effective products that you recommend?
