Preparing Your Lawn for Spring: The Importance of Post-Winter Pet Waste Cleanup
As winter thaws and spring emerges, homeowners eagerly anticipate revitalizing their lawns. However, accumulated pet waste from the colder months can pose challenges to achieving a lush, healthy yard.
Winter Accumulation: Cold temperatures and snow coverage often lead to delayed waste cleanup, resulting in a significant buildup that becomes evident as the snow melts.
Soil Health Implications: Decomposing pet waste releases excessive nutrients and harmful pathogens into the soil, potentially hindering grass growth and affecting soil composition.
Pest Attraction: Leftover waste can attract pests such as flies and rodents, which can further disrupt your lawn's ecosystem and pose additional health risks.
