    ratpoison against dogpoo?

    I find my daily dose of dogcrap on my lawn - infected with worms.
    That lawn was planted for my 4 year old son to play on, not as an outhouse for any bad trained pets.

    I actually suspect my neighbors tiny nasty child substitute.
    That excuse for a dog, is able to slip through our gate even after we inserted extra bars that keep out the big buggers.
    He's so sure that it is his territory, that he gets mad on his side of the road when my wife or kid enter our property.
    The other day I had the gate open and was about to get into my car, when my neighbor let him out for his morning piss and he immediately run past me onto the lawn again.
    This time he was called back, but I'm pretty sure he's send to our property on purpose when we are not around.

    Now, I have no feud with any of my neighbors (at least as much as I'm aware off), so I can only guess its plain laziness of the owner.
    That creature is send out, while the owner keeps waiting at his gate.

    The whole thing makes me angry - since we have a big patch of lush green forrest with lots of tall trees, grass, bushes, you name it... 25 meters down the road, starting right next to my property...

    But of course they would have to walk that dog the full distance, 25 meters and back!

    Now I'm wondering whether I lay down rat poison right away, or first hang a sign on my gate that I will do so in 2 days time.

    Any advice?

    ^Agree. They already know you hate the little fucker, so anything that happens to it will be laid at your doorstep. Just ratdog-proof your entry point.

    Doubtful..once they choose a place to go..then that's it...yes it is fucking annoying, not only does the next door neighbour's dog shat in our garden but some five billion fucking chickens tend to relieve themselves in it too..

    My answer..aggression..the dog gets a boot up the arse and the chickens get the AXE/Lighter combo...

    Don't use posion, use a gun, it's far more humane..

    You could be saying goodbye to your son at the local wat when they burn him, nice blue yummy bits of rat poison may just tempt him, could you live with that?

    My Dad had the same problem in England.
    He waited for a nice juicy fresh turd, scooped it up with a shovel and took it round to the neighbour's house.
    "The cow's milk belongs to the farmer, so this is yours.
    Are you going to take it or should I drop it on your carpet"

    The neighbour took the turd from the shovel and his dog never crapped on the lawn again

    Use a slingshot and shoot mothballs at it. They hate the smell and won't come around after a few hits.

    It's dogshite infested with a lot of nasties that can actually kill a child. Not the white powder stuff we used to throw at each other in England's green and pleasant pastures, jumpers for goalposts, etc.

    He's right to be concerned about the health risks, there's some nasty shit in that shit.

    Woof-woof waste does not a good fertilizer make. It is actually toxic to your lawn, causing burns and unsightly discoloring.
    More importantly, it has been estimated that a single gram of dog feces can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, which are known to cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness, and serious kidney disorders in humans.
    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) even estimates that two or three days worth of droppings from a population of about 100 dogs would contribute enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay, and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it, to swimming and shellfishing.
    Dog feces are one of the most common carriers of the following diseases:
    Children, puppies, and kittens are most susceptible to pet-borne illnesses because they have weaker immune systems than adults do.
    That's just in 'Merica, I would imagine Thailand has some even more exotic ones.

    "Mending Wall" is a metaphorical poem written in blank verse published in 1914, by Robert Frost (1874–1963). The poem appeared as the first selection in Frost's second collection of poetry, North of Boston. It is set in the countryside and is about one man questioning why he and his neighbor must rebuild the stone wall dividing their farms each spring.

    It is perhaps best known for its line spoken by the neighbor: "Good fences make good neighbors."

    The line is listed by the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations as a mid 17th century proverb which was given a boost in the American consciousness due to its prominence in the poem.

    Stop by the vet and grab some worm pills and dose the little bastard- if nothing else he'll start dropping solid loads that will be easier to clean up.

    Seriously- if the dog has worms it's an easy fix.

    Don`t get paranoid about it, it aint the dog`s fault.

    Secure your gate as previously suggested and have a friendly word with the owner.

    Do not put poison down as you may not only harm the suspected animal, but others as well, and it really is a stupid idea when you have a young child who plays in the garden.

    If you do poison the dog then you will start a war with the owner which you probably will not win.

    Correct, stir fried with garlic/onions and some Tabasco sauce served up on toasted brown bread that has been lovely smeared with butter makes for an awesome mid afternoon snack.

    Here's one:

    Drink 10 large Chang, eat the spiciest som tum you can manage and a plateful of rotten fish.
    Head to your neighbour's house, assume the hands and knees with anus pointed at front door position and let the fuck rip...

    Better the devil you know, as they say..

    Don't need to eat it, If kids get the dog shit on their fingers and touch their eyes it can blind them, Toxicariasis
