Effective Strategies for Eliminating Urine/Feces Odor Outdoors

Urine/Feces Outdoors

SCOE 10X is safe to use indoors and outdoors. Dog runs, kennels, lawns and shrubs where animals have urinated are quickly eliminated of odor by using SCOE 10X.

The easiest method of the SCOE 10X application is to use a pump-up type garden sprayer found at local home centers.

Mix SCOE 10X into the sprayer. Spray the contaminated areas with SCOE 10X. It is best to treat when the heat of the day is at its lowest and not in the direct sun. SCOE 10X continues to work as long as it is wet. Keeping it from evaporating or drying will prolong its working life.

Application amounts will always depend on the severity of the problem. Initial treatments will be at the rate of 50-100 s.f. per gallon of diluted SCOE 10X. Subsequent treatments will be dependent on amounts of re-deposits.

Rule of thumb for SCOE 10X application rate: for every part of urine deposited over time, an equal part SCOE 10X will need to be applied to that location.

Understanding the Causes of Odor

When animals or humans eliminate waste outdoors, it can leave behind unpleasant odors. These odors are caused by bacteria breaking down the waste, which releases compounds that smell foul. However, understanding these causes is essential for addressing the issue effectively. If left untreated, odors can attract more animals and create a persistent smell, making outdoor spaces less enjoyable. Therefore, pinpointing the source of the odor is the first step in devising a solution.

Methods to Neutralize the Odor

There are several effective methods for neutralizing urine and feces odors outdoors. One popular approach is using enzymatic cleaners, which break down the odor-causing bacteria. Additionally, natural solutions like vinegar and baking soda can also be helpful. Because these substances neutralize the smell without harsh chemicals, they are safe for the environment. So, using these methods frequently can significantly reduce odors and create a more pleasant outdoor space.

Preventive Measures to Consider

To reduce future occurrences of odor, it is crucial to implement preventive measures. For instance, creating designated areas for waste elimination can help contain the smell. Furthermore, regular cleaning and maintenance of these areas ensure that odors do not become a problem again. Additionally, training pets to use specific spots can minimize the spread of odors. This proactive approach can make a significant difference, keeping outdoor spaces fresh and enjoyable for everyone.
