Poop Scoop
Telford's number 1 for your dog's number 2!
Picking up after your dog isn't exactly the most enjoyable chore. Let's face it — it's gross! It can be tempting to skip this task, but doing so is not only bad for the environment and public health — in many places, it's also illegal.
People often believe that leaving dog waste to decompose in the garden is good for the lawn, but the truth is that dog poop is toxic for your grass. Unlike cow manure, which is basically composted grass, a typical dog's poop, which is made acidic through natural digestive processes and their microbiome, is enough to destroy the grass underneath it. For this reason, dog poop also shouldn't be placed in your compost or used to fertilize your garden. In either case, it contains bacteria that could contaminate your vegetables.
In fact, dog waste contains two types of pollutants: nutrients and pathogens. Dog waste that gets washed into waterways may carry pathogens that affect living organisms in the water and can make people sick if they are in contact. Also, nutrients released from dog poop can stimulate the growth of algae (and even blue green algae, which is toxic for humans, dogs and fishes) and other plant life, making the water unsuitable for recreational uses.
Even if your dog doesn't show any symptoms of illness, their waste could still carry bacteria and parasites that are harmful to other pets and humans. And you don't need to come into direct contact with dog poop in order to contract an illness from it — diseases in poop can be transmitted by flies or other pets that come into contact with it. Some of the illnesses and infectious organisms carried in dog poo are:
-
Roundworms
-
Salmonella
-
E. coli
-
Giardia
-
Leptospira
-
Parvo virus
-
Coliform bacteria
We provide a pet waste clean up and cleansing service, using an environmentally friendly cleaning solution to sanitise and deodorise your garden. We use disinfectant spray on our tools after each and every visit to our clients’ properties to prevent the spread of disease.
Most of our clients want visits once a week, however we can offer daily, fortnightly, monthly or a one off major clean up.
If you are struggling to find the time to clean up after your pets due to an injury, health issues or disability, or even if you are just too busy with life and work and always find yourself overwhelmed and behind of the poop scooping duties on your garden, we are here to help!
