I have multiple dogs and also dog sit. Lately, I've noticed a distinct smell of dog pee at the front of the house (which is pea shingle [PEE shingle:D] over plastic membrane) and, less smelly, at the rear of the house which is predominantly laid to lawn (well, used to be lawn pre-multiple dogs.....:D). We've removed about 75% of the plastic membrane at the front because we thought this wasn't allowing the pee to drain away but to no avail.......it's still smelly!

Anyone got any ideas? Really would like to sort this problem out!
 
Use one of the odour kill solutions applied via watering can. Odourgene, odokill etc. Buy the concentrate rather than a ready to use spray.

You could have just stabbed the membrane with a fork instead of lifting it.
 
Cbmcts - I thought Jeyes but I've been doing a lot of Googling on this subject (to no avail, hence this post) and it seems Jeyes isn't the answer. Is is "dog safe" (I need to Google again!) and doesn't it smell like a public lavatory?:eek: I really need to find an answer to this problem......does anyone else have a smelly garden?
 
S4sugar - I've never heard of either of the products you mention but I've just checked them out online and they seem to fit the bill! I will ring the companies and see whether their products will do the job!

And no, we definitely removed the membrane in its entirety. The smell is pretty horrible at the moment and really want it sorted before summer!
 
The most effective are the bubblegum scented ones.

I'll have a look what I have in the kennel prep room in the morning & send you the contact details.
 
A solution of biological washing powder will break down the ammonia and most other compounds in the urine, taking away a lot of the smell.
 
It is probably similar but certainly doesn't work out cheaper as dilution of 1:15 doesn't go as far as 1:100.
 
I have found that the very best stuff is Trigiene, I used to use it for the dog areas at the stud farm I worked on. It's safe for dogs (once dry) but it's not cheap! You can get a big container off Ebay, it needs diluting so it does last a while, the lavender scented one leaves a nice fresh smell (I know what you mean re Jeyes fluid & smelling like a public bog!) :)
 
I use Jayes fluid twice a day to wash down my kennel runs......being doing it for donkey years, never had any problem with it, I also use it in the chicken houses and stables I have also used Odourkill too, but that works out expensive.

It is the bacteria in the pee that smells, so kill them kill the smell !!

Jeyes is ok for dog runs if used at the correct dilution 65mls/5 litres and allowed to dry before the dogs get access (it is lethal to cats) . It still works out deare than odour kill which costs about the same for the concentrate but is used at 50mls per 5 litres and is safe immediately.
Smells are not just from the bacteria.

I use safe4 you can get it in different scents. I like the apple one :-)
It's cheap, a little goes a long way and it's completely animal safe x
