Plants to prevent dogs from pooping

It’s also worth considering plants that can repel dogs, but you need to be wary about toxic plants.

The scent of lavender is popular with humans but it’s a smell that dogs do not like. Lavender is easy to plant and will grow and deliver a nice scent, but a dog will not want to go near it.

The curry plant, or the Helichrysum Italicum, delivers a strong curry aroma and is part of the daisy family. It is susceptible to frost but in a well-protected spot, it can be an effective way to deter dogs.

Not only do citrus trees look good and produce oranges or lemons, but the strong smell of citrus will also deter dogs. They do take a long time to become established so are not a quick win for deterring pooping dogs.

The ‘scaredy cat plant’, or the Plextranthus Canina, is well-known for deterring cats because of its smell. It’s also proven to scare dogs away as well and the smell is not noticed by humans unless they rub against the plant.

The natural remedies available to prevent dog fouling

Along with regularly cleaning the area where dogs are fouling, there are some natural remedies available to prevent the issue from occurring.

Firstly, using a natural remedy can be a cost-effective way to bring an end to dog fouling, but it won’t work for everyone.

There are websites recommending that property owners spray a dog that is fouling outside their property, but this is likely to lead to confrontation because the dog owner is probably nearby. Not recommended.

A popular natural remedy is to use vinegar because it’s a smell that dogs do not like. Apply liberally to the areas where dogs are fouling to keep them away. You can also slightly dilute vinegar and spray the area – try to do this at least once a week and more regularly if it’s a serious issue.

As with vinegar, dogs do not like the smell of lemon juice or ammonia so you could use this as an alternative.

Before dogs foul a pavement, they will sniff around, and some property owners swear by cayenne or chilli pepper that has been sprinkled on the ground. This will probably work in small areas.

An alternative to using chilli or cayenne pepper is to use ground black pepper for similar results.

Other natural remedies include mothballs which you use to create a perimeter around the area that is regularly fouled.

Almond oil, as well as eucalyptus oil and garlic and citrus also work well but these tend to be more expensive.

Making Your Yard Less Appealing

To keep stray dogs away from your backyard, make sure your trash is tightly bagged and canned, and that you’re not leaving pet food outside, which can attract dogs. You can also sprinkle black or cayenne pepper around your yard, which dogs dislike. Additionally, try planting marigolds in your yard, as dogs don’t like the smell. Alternatively, purchase liquid fence at a home improvement store and spray it around the perimeter of your yard to create a barrier that dogs won’t want to cross.
