Help - Lawn problem
Hi All,
My lawn used to look nice and green. But now it has yellow patchy all over, I think it's from my neighbor's dog's uline. I try to water it more often and put on some fertilizer & Ironite, but it still did not help. What should I do to fix this? and how do I stop my neighbor's dog from peeing in my yard? any solutions? TIA |

TIA Fences or bushes along the property line. Some others will probably offer solutions that will result in the death of the dog. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County.

I've seen people blame dead spots on everything from the neighbor's dog to lawn guys spilling gas on the grass. Unless you have good reason to believe it's really the dog, I'd suggest getting an expert opinion. Don't know where u live, but in many areas there county agricultural agencies that offer free advice if you take them a sample of your grass. Those spots could be disease, fungus, insect damage..... And if it's fungus, for example, adding nitrogen and excess water is just going to make it worse. and how do I stop my neighbor's dog from peeing in my yard? *any solutions?

TIA I had a problem with cats and connected a relay to my motion-detector light which I used to activate my automatic sprinklers. Every time the cat would go on the grass the sprinklers came on for a few minutes. No more cats. |

Thanks for the response. I like the motion detector light ideas from
Ulysses. But how do you get it to work during the day? I thought the motion detector light only turn on at night. By the way I live in San Dimas, California. "Ulysses" wrote in message ...

I thought the motion detector light only turn on at night. By the way I live in San Dimas, California. Most have a photocell to keep the light off durning the day. Guess that if it is light enough to see you do not need to have the motion detector light come on. Just tape over the photocell so it thinks it is dark all the time. |

Ralph, If I taped the photocell, then my sprinkler will get turned on all
day instead of only when it detecting the dog, Beside the motion detecter idea I doubt that it's going to work for this purpose because whenever people walk by it will get turned on too.

The motion detectors have a photocell to detect the light and a motion detector to detect hot moving objects. Time to have a talk with the neighbors about their animals. If no response from them, then animal control or traps. |

It's been quite a few years since I did it but as Ralph pointed out I probably taped over the photo cell or only needed to use it at night. The sensitivity of those typical motion-detector spotlights is adjustable and so is the angle of field of "vision." I probably did something like use my sprinkler timer to have it on only during certain hours. Besides, even if my sprinklers DID turn on when someone walked by during the day nobody was going to get wet. The mailman could even get to the mailbox by the front door. Anyway, just an idea that worked for me and I already had all the stuff to do it. |
The only solution I found is diluting the urine. IF you see a female dog doing the business quickly get a hose! I think male dog's are fine though?
How does your neighbours dog get in? |
