Fall in St. Charles County means cooler days, crunchy leaves, and dogs who love sniffing every pile that hits the ground. But beneath those colorful layers might be something a little less charming – hidden dog poop under leaves.
When leaves pile up, dog waste gets trapped underneath where it breaks down slowly. Damp leaves lock in moisture and bacteria, creating odors that stick around long after the last rake pass. What you can’t see can still harm your lawn, your pets, and your family’s health.
Dog poop buried under leaf piles doesn’t dry out – it festers. The bacteria and parasites within can contaminate soil and spread to nearby areas. When your dog runs through the yard, they may track it back inside without you realizing it.
Cooler temps and added moisture slow decomposition, meaning poop lingers for weeks instead of days. Once winter arrives, frozen waste gets buried deeper, only to reappear in spring as a thawed, stinky surprise.
At Doggy Doods, we go beyond a quick scoop. Our fall cleanups include a full sweep through leaves and landscaping to catch what’s hiding. We even offer deodorizing treatments to neutralize lingering odors and bacteria, leaving your yard fresh and safe.
Uncollected dog poop can kill grass, invite pests, and make outdoor spaces unpleasant. Fall is the perfect time to get ahead before winter sets in.
