this is about a delicate subject--dog poo smell.
it seems to have gotten worse since i first got zack.
I got a big trash barrel for the backyard with an airtight suction lid, put 33 gallon liners in it, and pick up on average 2.5 poops a day and put them in the barrel. I pick them up with MuttMitt pick up bags and i used to fasten them with wire twisters but now i tie them shut, making a tight knot. The next time i open the barrel to put anohter one in, like later that day or the next day, the smell is overpowering. :yuk: I can't leave my door open as it stinks up my house. How do people manage this? do you put it in the toilet each time? It's amazing the way, even though it's inside the mutt mitt, fastened tightly, still the odor comes through. I guess the heat has made it worse, but it was always bad. I can carry it out to the big communal dumpster each time but then, the dumpster is by the apartments and i don't want to put the smell over there either. At least my barrel has an airtight lid, the dumpster just has a loose fitting top.
do other people deal with dreadful odor, or are there some good waste processing procedures people could enlighten me about.
I tried sprinkling Nature's Miracle litter treatment in it, that didnt' seem to have any effect.
