For dog owners, it’s an inevitable part of life, but picking up dog poop is often a household’s least favorite chore. There are many reasons to let Number 2 poop scooping help you and yours eliminate pet waste from your yard, but perhaps one of the most important reasons is that pet waste removal through Number 2 can help eliminate the hazards to humans, pets, and the environment associated with biological contamination
Pocatello sits on the Snake River Plain aquifer, and is used for everything from recreation to irrigation to drinking water. Dog waste left for too long in your yard can seep down and possibly contaminate groundwater. Rain water and snow melt can speed up this process, flowing contamination into local creeks and the nearby Portneuf River. Dog poop is a polluter of nitrogen, which when it's built up in the water supply can harm native plant species and wildlife. Of course, any single yard poses little risk to the water table, but there are thousands of dogs in the Pocatello/Chubbuck area, so it is important for every household to do its part by removing pet waste in a timely manner. Number 2's process for dog poop cleanup can help you easily and quickly eliminate waste from your yard with any of our one time or subscription services.
If left too long, pet waste can damage the soil so severely that growing your lawn or garden can become difficult to impossible in those areas with heavy deposits. This is because dog poop leeches chemicals harmful to even domestic plants found in Pocatello and Chubbuck yards.
Dog waste also contains harmful pathogens like Salmonella and E. Coli, bacteria that can easily lead to illness or even death in humans. Children are especially susceptible to sickness caused by these microorganisms. But humans aren't the only species at risk from dog poop exposure. Parvovirus is a virus often contracted by dogs through contact with poop from other dogs. If left untreated, parvo has over a 90% mortality rate. Additionally, parasites found in animal intestines like roundworm and hookworm often make their way into dog poop. These can be easily transferred to other dogs and people, alike.
Number 2 takes the risk of cross contamination extremely seriously, because we do not want to spread any of these diseases to our own pets or family or anyone else's. Our tools, footwear, and any other personal protective equipment is thoroughly disinfected between jobs with a solution designed to break down the DNA of these pathogens.
Excessive dog poop buildup in your yard can attract larger amounts of insects and their natural predators, like mice. Keeping your yard free of dog waste discourages these pests from moving into your lawn and eventually maybe even your home.
