Presumably because he lives next door and he doesn’t want a health hazard next to his house?

You do realize that rats are afraid of dogs and are actually scared off by dogs instead of attracted? Dog feces would of course facilitate the rats keeping away. Common sense, anyone?




No - rats eat dog feces.

People, ignore or report the trolls. There are many troll posts on this thread.


OP, I hope your neighbor gets fined for unsanitary conditions and picks up the poo from now on.

You're wrong. Rats eat dog feces--I've seen them doing it on several occasions when I used to live downtown. Rats are vile creatures.

Looks like you're covered under E.


That's quite a stretch.

He NEVER picks up after them and after 3 years of dealing with it I finally decided to call the county (Montgomery) today to complain. It is so gross and unsanitary, yet I feel bad knowing that he'll know that I complained. I've never approached him directly but my neighbor across the street did once. I couldn't find much info on what the county will do but they told me that they'd go inspect.


It’s disgusting and I would have done the same thing, OP.

As a farm girl and avid composter, if the neighbor's compost pile stunk, it wasn't a compost pile. It was a garbage heap and a common nuisance. Proper compost piles do not give off any bad odors.


Another farm girl here. I was about to post the same thing. Compost should not stink. The general rule is that if it didn't grow in the ground, it doesn't belong in your compost pile. Of course there are exceptions, but dog poop is never compost.[/quote]

But what a fertilizer!!!!

You sound like a shit stirrer, OP. Pun intended. Chances are, you do not know who you are dealing with. You don't sound very bright. Do you really want to live next door to someone you complained about?

Can you afford to move? If not, shut it.

Common sense has nothing to do with this. Found this post as we too have a similar issue. Our neighbors dogs are out from sun up to 9 o'clock pm and then they're placed in cages in the garage. However, since they moved in, we all of a sudden saw mice, rats and raccoons coming from their backyard and try to linger into ours.

We've tried speaking to them but they will clean one day and never again. I am hoping to find a better way to keep flies and other criters out of my home.
