Some idiot in my neighborhood is allowing his dog to, let's just say, relieve himself on my lawn during the early morning hours. One night about 3 weeks ago I was up at 5:30 with my 11 month old son and I saw a guy walking his dog through my neighbor's yard so I'm guessing that's the guy.

Being that I stepped in a pile of the crap yesterday while mowing the yard, and narrowly missed another, I don't want my young children in this crap while playing outside.

There are two ways I can go about handling this. The first is to get up early and wait the person out, confront him and tell him I don't want to catch him or his mutt on my lawn anymore. That type of confrontation is not difficult for me to do, believe me. But with our children having odd sleeping hours every minute of sleep my wife and I can get is priceless. I'll be more than happy to confront this coward and just tell him not to do it anymore. Before I lose sleep waiting on this guy I'd rather try my other approach. That is to put something out in my lawn that would absolutely fry his dog's snoozer. Anybody know of something that would make his dog never want to set foot on my lawn again, yet will not attract insects? Gimme suggestions please.

Thanks,
