Dog Waste and Your Yard: Why Regular Cleanup is Important for Your Home’s Health

Did you know that dog waste can attract pests, including rats and flies? Here’s why regular dog waste removal is not only important for the health of your yard but also for keeping your home free from pests.

1. Attracts Rodents

Rats and other pests are opportunistic feeders, meaning they will eat whatever food source they can find—including dog waste. If you leave dog poop in your yard, it can quickly attract rats and other rodents, leading to an infestation.

2. Carries Diseases

Dog waste can contain harmful bacteria and parasites, which can affect both pets and humans. If not cleaned up regularly, it can contaminate your yard and spread diseases.

3. Attracts Flies and Other Pests

Dog poop is a breeding ground for flies and other insects. These pests are attracted to the decaying matter, and in turn, can attract larger pests like rodents.
