How about spreading 'moth crystals' (like crushed moth balls) around

That will certainly keep the moths off the poo.

Yes, it probably would, but it is poisonous to dogs. And poisoning the
guys critters is likely to cause some serious neighborly problems.

I was being a bit sarcastic. reason being is that I've never witnessed
a moth on dog poo. Flies! Another story.

BTW, I've not even seen a dog eat a moth ball or get near one. They
will eat human food/plants that are poison.


I agree with the folks that are suggesting you tell the neighbor about
the smell bothering you. He really may not know. And at least you'll
have tried doing it in a neighborly way prior to asking for city
help.

As a responsible dog owner (I poop scoop once a day in winter, twice a
day in summer), it is awful to read about stuff like this. It gives
dog owners everywhere a bad name -- unfairly. I hope you'll give the
guy a change to mend his ways.

So long as you keep it civil and use the ol' Oprah "I Statement" trick
(try not to accuse him, just tell him that the smell is preventing you
from enjoying your back yard), it might work out OK.

Then again, it might not. He could get very defensive, but then you'll
have the city codes to back you up. http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/default.asp
will help you figure out what's legal and what's not.

Best of luck with it all.
