How to Get Dog Urine Smell Out of Lawn

Let's face it, dogs need a place to pee just like every other creature on the planet. Without a specified place to urinate, such as pet potty pads or a designated spot on the lawn (Steer clear of fire hydrants, please!), damage to lawns is inevitable. The acidity of the urine can kill grass, and urine spots leave a pungent odor that can be embarrassing to homeowners. Here's a quick and easy solution to getting the urine smell out of your lawn.

Things You'll Need

  • Black light
  • Paper flags on toothpicks
  • Urine odor-neutralizing agent such as Clear the Air in granule form

Instructions

    • 1

      Use a black light at night to find the urine spots that are causing the odor.

    • 2

      Place flags in urine spots so you can find them in the daylight the next day to complete the next step.

    • 3

      Apply urine odor-neutralizing granules to the spots. Only a capful of granules, at the most, is needed. When the dog needs to go out, take him to a different spot in the yard to give the granules a chance to take effect.

      Remove the flags, and repeat as necessary once a week.
