What Is Yard Sanitization?
Yard sanitization is a professional service that treats your lawn with pet-safe disinfectants designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and strong pet odors. It’s the perfect follow-up to regular poop scooping—because even after the waste is gone, the germs can stick around.
Because Your Lawn Deserves More Than Just a Poop Scoop
Dog waste isn’t just messy—it can be full of harmful bacteria and lingering odors. At Department Of Doody, our yard sanitization services go the extra mile to disinfect and deodorize your lawn, making it a cleaner, safer space for your family and pets.
Why Yard Sanitization Matters in Fort Worth
In warm, humid climates like Fort Worth, bacteria from pet waste can multiply quickly and seep into your soil. That’s not just gross—it’s potentially harmful. Our sanitization process helps protect your yard from:
Long-lasting stains and yellow patches
Foul odors
Harmful bacteria like E. coli and salmonella
Parasites like hookworms and roundworms
Safe for Pets, People & Plants
We only use eco-friendly, non-toxic sanitizing solutions that are safe for dogs, cats, kids, and lawns. You’ll get all the benefits of a clean yard without worrying about chemicals or harsh residues.
How It Works: Our Yard Sanitizing Process
Pre-Cleaning – We remove all visible pet waste (if not already part of your service).
Treatment Application – We apply a specially formulated sanitizer across high-traffic areas of your lawn.
Deodorizing – We include a pet-safe deodorizer to leave your yard smelling fresh.
Let It Work – Most treatments dry in 15–30 minutes and leave no residue.
How Often Should You Sanitize Your Yard?
We recommend monthly sanitizing for homes with one or two dogs and bi-weekly for larger households or yards with heavy use. One-time deep cleaning is also available for move-ins, parties, or after illness.
Add Deodorizing to Any Poop Scooping Plan
Our yard sanitization service is available as a standalone treatment or as an easy add-on to your existing dog poop cleanup plan. Bundle it with regular scooping to keep your lawn looking, smelling, and feeling its best year-round.
