"What’s that smell? Is that what you think it is? You check your shoes and,
sure enough, one is adorned with a sticky, foul-smelling patty of fresh
wrongness. You have stepped in a landmine of the canine variety.
We’ve all been there, and we all know footpaths, nature strips, parks, playing
fields and front lawns are not good places for dog poo to sit.
Yet, our streets and parks continue to be littered with dog poo. And with the
pandemic driving a surge in dog ownership, anecdotal reports suggest the dog
poo problem has grown only worse in recent years.
Beyond the obvious unsightliness and the likelihood of making unwanted contact
with dog poo, there are some other important reasons to pick up after dogs.
Here’s what you need to know and what the science says about common efforts to
deter dogs from pooping on your yard."
