I found a lot while planting my garden. Dung beetles can process 250 times their weight in poop per night.

Where do I buy some of those?

We are in Montgomery County. They are right below the surface of our reddish dirt. I found lots of information about how they help the cattle industry.

Maybe I should start a beetle farm?

Dog s may be eating their own poop.

If the yard backs up to a field -- in the field?

Rats are probably the prime suspect. Maybe that's why the hawks and snakes are there, good hunting.

I don't think it's rats because we have a big rat snake that commutes between our yard and the neighbors yard, plus hawks circle all the time.

I guess it could be them if they clean it up a night? Strangest thing.

Seriously. Where do you live OP? I want to buy in your neighborhood.

Rats?

We moved into a new house in November. It's a large yard (1/2 acre?) that backs up to a field. We have two dogs who poop in the backyard daily. At our old house I had to scoop the poop every week/two weeks at a minimum. We didn't really have a usable back yard, so there was little risk of stepping in it.

Now I've gone to scoop the poop in the new yard and can't find any poop. Sometimes I find one or two, but other than that...nothing. We use the yard daily now that it's nice out and I have been looking to scoop every morning. I am baffled. I go to right where I've seen the dogs go and it is perfectly clean. I have never ran over the poop with the mower or had any surprise steppings. Is something eating the poop? A fox or a possum? Do we have a poop vortex that deposits it to the other side?
