Lewis Moon Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 What product would everyone suggest for getting rid of the urine smell in our back yard? It's not too bad but yards around here are small and I really want to be a good neighbor. Some specifics: Grass is somewhat of a luxury here in the desert so our yard is crushed granite over hard pack. Unfortunately, drainage is also a problem as bedrock starts about 1.5 feet down. They needed jackhammers to build the pool next door. Any type of spray on enzyme that won't be too dear? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 How about vinegar (acid) to counter the ammonia (base) smell? It's cheap enough that you can try it and you aren't out much if it doesn't work. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushdoggie Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Cheap lemon dish soap with a bit of vinegar added works wonders. Use a hose end mixer and rinse down the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish soap is not good for the environment unless you are using the eco friendly brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 White vinegar. As Julie said, it counteracts the ammonia in the urine. I do know some folks who have tried to use cider vinegar - it stains. And it's also usually more expensive. You can buy white vinegar by the gallon.

Yep, and while folks do spray detergent to control fleas and the like, detergent is indiscriminate--it will kill both good and bad insects. J.
