Yes, I can buy commercial repellent, but one of the
sites says that capsicum (sp?) is the main ingredient
in some repellents.
Note also that there is no problem re-applying after

I am seeing a similar problem in my back yard. Because of fences,
walls, and a gate with only 2 inches of clearance from a concrete walk,
no dogs are responsible. I suspect a raccoon, against which a large
Havahart trap would likely be effective. I suspect the usual scented
repellents will not be effective since raccoons are omniverous.
Thanks. This is definitely dog doo. He/she/it has been frequenting area for some time. I want to put an end to it. Link I posted mentions home remedies.
****Wondered if anybody can recommend an effective home made repellent.
(I HAVE had raccoon problems (also possums), coming in cat door. Just ordered an electronic cat door which will be programmed to the cat's chip.
Ironically, my cat, who is supposed to be taking prednisone for an intestinal
cancer, is so spooked by the medicating process that he hates me; has just about moved out. So hope I can catch him to program the new door.
I used to have a problem with a neighbor, who walked her dog to crap on
my front lawn. I solved that problem by telling her that, since I do
not have a dog of my own, I would come over to her house, squat, and
crap on her lawn. Since then (until several years later when she moved
away), she always walked her dog across the street.
