The short answer
Does dog poop attract flies and rodents?
Yes. Flies lay eggs in fresh dog waste and multiply quickly in warm weather, and mice and rats will eat it. Removing waste every week cuts off the source. Pair pickup with deodorizer or urine spot treatment for lingering smells.

- Flies, which breed in fresh waste.

Questions people ask
Why does my yard still smell after I pick up the poop?
Urine and residue leave lingering smells. Ask about urine spot treatment or deodorizer with your regular pickup.
Will regular scooping reduce flies around my patio?
Yes. Flies breed in fresh waste, so removing it every week cuts off the source. Twice-weekly helps most in midsummer.
