A Must-Read for Central Indiana Dog Owners
As lawns turn green again across Hamilton County and neighboring towns like Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville, many homeowners fire up their mowers and assume that mowing over dog poop will somehow make it vanish. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. It is better to scoop dog poop before you mow.
Dog Waste Doesn’t Break Down
Mowing over pet waste doesn’t break it down—it just spreads it around. Dog poop can carry bacteria like E. coli and parasites such as roundworms and giardia. When you mow over it, those harmful contaminants can be flung across your yard—or worse, get caked onto your mower blades, which makes for a pretty nasty cleanup. Even national companies like TruGreen acknowledge the affects of dog waste to lawns.
Rain Washes Dog Poop Away, Right?
Still hoping for a natural fix? Rain won’t help either. Contrary to popular belief, rain doesn’t “wash away” the poop—it just breaks it down slightly and spreads bacteria into your soil and nearby storm drains. That runoff can eventually impact local waterways, contributing to pollution in the White River and other Central Indiana water sources.
