Neutralize pet odors in grass with gypsum.
What to do about pet urine on the lawn has plagued many a homeowner. Not only is pet urine detrimental to the health of your grass, it can also give-off an offensive odor. Fortunately, there is a solution. Calcium sulfate, also known as gypsum, is a non-toxic, natural neutralizer that is safe for humans, pets, soil, plants and your grass. Gypsum neutralizes the mineral salts in pet urine, resolving odors and preventing lawn damage.
Instructions
1. Pour gypsum pellets into a drop spreader. Make sure that the hopper is set to the closed position before filling. A lever on the handle opens and closes the hopper.
2. Walk the drop spreader over to the area of grass affected by pet urine. Open the hopper by releasing the lever.
3. Walk the spreader back and forth over the grass, applying a thin layer of gypsum pellets. One to two passes over the affected area with the drop spreader should be sufficient.
4. Allow the gypsum several days to work. You should notice a significant reduction in pet urine odor within the first week of applying the gypsum pellets.
