dog poop in the yard in the front now he has.a small yard but when the dog
Poop it is were we live i would like to know what lime can use to keep the dog from doing it i have asked him over and over to take the dog in his back yard because when my Grand babies come over they step in it and bring it on my carpet they are 3 years old
Dear Margaret, I'm having a hard time using diplomacy when writing. I apologize for this. With all do respect, it is against the law to use other peoples property. I feel your neighbors are being nice about it when leaving dog poop as a deterrent for your grand babies to not run on their property. It is kind on their part, as in there isn't a confrontation with you as their neighbor. If this is a front yard then the street is also just as close to your front yard as your neighbors yard is... May your grand babies be safe in your care and all be happy... ^_^
If you are referring to non caustic lime non-caustic limes, or “ag limes” are considered non-toxic for people, pets and the wildlife passing through, non-toxic does equate to a substance being 100% safe. Non-toxic literally refers to a material as not causing death or serious illness.
it’s important to remember, if your dog plays outside in areas treated with lime, they may be at risk of coming into contact with the substance — which might cause some problems.
Over time, lime is absorbed into the ground. Once it has been fully absorbed, dogs can run free without too many risks. But, playing outside before the pellets or powder while lime powder remains undissolved can be harmful to dogs.
Because lime’s sole purpose is to increase the pH of acidic soil, it’s an incredibly alkaline substance. Lime’s alkalinity means that when pellets make contact with skin (human or animal), it can cause some serious irritation.
