I don't think there's anything that can be done about this except move, but sometimes I'm surprised by the answers on newsgroups.
Our street faces a large apartment complex. The arrangement of the few houses on our street create only small front yards -- about 20' deep by the width of the lots (80'?). The houses are about 25 years old. The apartment complex was built a few (3 ?) years ago.
On the far side of the complex is a boulevard and on each end is another complex so the only area with grass these people can reach is our small lawns. So, our lawns have become the toilet for the *many* tenants with dogs. They all walk the dogs down our street and stop on the lawn for a dump. The lawns become covered with dog turds.
If I happen to be outside they usually pass on to a lawn a couple of doors down. On the rare occasion when the owner ignores the fact that I'm standing right there, I say something like "Please don't mess my yard." Usually they either don't reply or say something like "Go F**k yourself," or give an indifferent "OK."
Anybody think of any way to stop this? Is there something one can sprinkle or spray on the yard that will repel the dogs?
