FAQ’S
Why
hire Pepe La Poop N Scoop Services?
Pepe La Poop N Scoop Services is dedicated to
making life easier for dog owners by cleaning up dog waste from your yard. It's
time consuming, and nobody really wants to do it. Besides, you have better
things to do with your time, like unwinding and enjoying your free time with
your dog. So let us handle your dog's business and haul it away so you won't
even have to think about it. Just think no more arguing with family members,
roommates or tenants about who has to pick up the mess, it’s our job now.
Why
should I have my yard cleaned?
There are various reasons to have your yard
cleaned. First, it will prevent dog waste from being tracked into your house
and vehicles. Second, your yard will be more presentable. Also, feces attract
flies as well as other pests. Therefore, keeping your yard clean will protect
your family, your pets, and the surrounding community from health risks
associated with dog waste. Lastly, dog waste can also seep into ground water
and contaminate our storm sewers and waterways.
Why
not just let it disintegrate?
Dog
waste can pose a serious health hazard not only to dogs but also to humans.
Common parasites, including round worm and tape worm, are transmitted through
dog waste. When this waste is left on the ground, the eggs can remain in the
soil for years. As a result, anyone who comes in contact with the soil also
comes in contact with the infected eggs. Children run the greatest risk of
infection because they're prone to playing in the dirt and then put their hands
in their mouths or rub their eyes with their hands. If you don’t clean up after
your pet, the waste doesn’t just disappear. Rainfall washes the waste into the
sewer system, which empties it into local rivers and lakes. Fecal contamination
can make water unsafe to drink and unfit to swim in. The health problems
associated with fecal contamination of our waters include ear infections,
dysentery, typhoid fever, gastroenteritis and hepatitis A.
How does Pepe La Poop N Scoop
Services dispose of the waste?
We bag the pet waste and dispose of it in
compliance with all local rules and regulations. We take it away so you never
have to see or smell it again.
When
is the clean-up done and can you work with my dog(s) in the yard?
The job is done whether you are home, at work
or even on vacation. All we need is access to the yard that needs cleaning and
we will do the rest. Please have your gate unlocked on your service day. You
may provide us with a key to the locked gate or tell us the combination. If you
like, we will loan you a combination lock at no cost to you.
We get along well with dogs, however, for our
safety we ask that protective dogs and unfriendly dogs be in a pen, put in the
house or tied up so there is no risk of being attacked while cleaning your
yard. We will not work in an unsafe yard. If the animal cannot be contained on
the scheduled cleaning day, please notify us ASAP so we can arrange a suitable
day for your clean-up. We require 24hr notice for any cancelled appointments or
any changes you want to make to avoid being charged for a visit that you did
not want.
