Dog shit
 

The local dogs which belong to my neighbours have taken to collectively shitting at both front and back gates to my compound, you can hardly move without stepping on a turd or getting them in your tyre tracks.

Any suggestions as to what to put down to deter their interest in defecating on my doorstep. I've just about scooped all the poop I can be bothered to and thrown buckets of bleached water at the target areas to no avail.

How about a paprika and water mix to send their keen noses for a dump elsewhere?. Don't want to kill the darlings, just a caution to go maybe shit in their own yard.

All suggestions welcome.

P.S How do you get the womenfolk to stop hitching up their skirts and doing a camel toe piss at all times of day in the front yard even though they have a flushing toilet indoors linked to a septic tank? Honestly, it's not erotic.But let's start with the dogs.

Re: Dog shit
 

crushed moth balls might work or try sprinkling Amonia. Both are irritants to dogs noses, as the for the toilet manners tell them a snake was spotted in the garden.That usually does it.

Re: Dog shit
 

Thanks, I'll try the moth balls, don't know where to get ammonia. Tried caustic soda/water mix a few times but didn't work, good for clearing drains though.

This cheeky b***h (the woman not the dog) kept bring her dog onto our garden (in the UK) to do its business, I suppose so she did not have to clean it up as it was not on the footpath. I got some stuff from Homebase, obviously no Homebase handy in Goa but this stuff smelly very strongly of garlic and it worked as the dog did not dirty there again. Once all the powder was used up rather than buy more I have put Garlic in water and boiled it so the water smelt strongly of garlic and sprayed the area which also seems to work. My OH grows garlic in the garden so we always have plenty but it is cheep enough to buy in Goa and try it.

Re: Dog shit
 

I think it is a universal problem. A local person, here in UK was caught by a warden when his 3 dogs fouled a football pitch. He refused to pay the fixed fine, appealed the Magistrates decision and ended up paying £315 at the Crown Court. Did he really think he had done nothing wrong???

Re: Dog shit
 

I have been in Goa, just home. I do not have a good connection in Goa, other people in the same resort do but for some reason it does not matter which provider I use the connection is rubbish and I can only get on line at about 2am Goan time when not many people are using the internet unless I carry my laptop to one of the restaurants. It may be that a lot of people who used to contribute are now contributing to the Meet and greet in Goa site in facebook.

Re: Dog shit
 

Just had a look at that site ----the language!!!---the photos!!!!--- Am I 'old- fashioned' I was quite shocked?

Can't think that many of the previous contributors post there?:ohmy:

Re: Dog shit
 

have you noticed that some dog owners look like their pets ? And with some of them i would rather look at the dogs poo than the owners face ! We have a park with a children only section because of a disease dogs carry and nearly every day the doggy people have to be told to get out.Its as if they believe that dog owners have a mandate from God for the dogs to crap willy nilly. Mind you the last time i was in Paris was a nightmare.....beautiful areas but you dare not look away from the pavement or its squelch squelch...shit

Re: Dog shit
 

you ask "what to put down" TRY FOOD .....I kid you not. as a dog lover and wildlife fan I had the same problem with the fox shit around my house back here in uk. since leaving scraps of food out for them..........yep you guessed it.....not a single turd.
try it and let me know....as for the ignorant women of india who piss where they like, I have no idea. probably education! but after having to sell my house there before it was taken away.....who gives a shit!

Re: Dog shit
 

When your back in Goa get a cable extension if your using a dongle. I bought one in Calingut for 400 Rupees and it improved my connection by 100%.The one i bought was 5 metres long and it allowed me to run it to the balcony and get a straight line of sight to the mast across the fields. The problem in Goa is Laterite.Its full of Iron Ore which deflects the signal if your living in a traditional house or one of the concrete flats because they use Laterite blocks instead of Breeze Blocks.

Re: Dog shit
 

My dongle does have a socket for an ariel but did not come with one. I will get one and give it a try when I get back, my friends either have no buildings near their balconies or are high enough up to be above the height of the buildings opposite, we have buildings opposite.

Re: Dog shit
 

Our walls here in K. have Laterite, but find using dongle in a room with a large window no problems. Using an iBall at the moment, although also use MBlaze.

Re: Dog shit
 

I do not think canines are the only problem.

Re: Dog shit
 

We have just returned from Sri Lanka, and they obviously have similar problems to Goa,(too many dogs, too much mess). They hang a clear 2 litre bottle of water outside the gate of their property, and it seems to work. Apparently if a dog can see another, or in this case a reflection, it will take it's "deposits" elsewhere. We wish that we had known this before, on our many trips to Goa.

Re: Dog shit
 

you start putting empty plastic bottles outside your gate, and within a day, you will have a tip there where every indian will chuck their rubbish

Re: Dog shit
 

"Every Indian", probably you should move house to a decent area!

Re: Dog shit
 

Have you travelled through the new terminal at Dabolim Airport? I have, it had only been opened a short time but was already being used as a rubbish dump and the majority of travellers were Indian. I am not saying that all the rubbish was deposited on the floor by Indians but while I was waiting for my flight I saw several using the floor rather than the bin provided.

Re: Dog shit
 

No, I have only travelled in and not out via the new terminal. I must say I quite believe what you say. Unfortunately Goa is Goa!!!!
Other airports are very different. (Apart from Chennai domestic female toilets:thumbdown:)

Other cities obviously there are slums, and poor areas but garbage clearance tidiness in general etc. is much better than Goa, which with only 1 million population no real excuse.
Even here in Karwar a man comes twice a week for dry garbage.

Re: Dog shit
 

WE DID!!! MOVED BACK TO BLIGHTY, MISS THE FOOD, BUT NOT THE ROBBIN BASTARDS

Re: Dog shit
 

I can not believe it is Goans who are making all the mess in the airport having seen the mess made in our resort restaurant and by the pool by Indians from outside Goa who come and stay in the resort. Other airports may be better at cleaning up after these travellers.

Re: Dog shit
 

Agree it is not just Indians from Goa who throw stuff around.

My disagreement was with was with the words "every" Indian.

Have just been having a lengthy discussion about the subject with rels. staying with us. We don't know the answer as it is not just 'class' related. Just better education and regulations from officials.

All I do know is that the people that we know personally, rels. friends etc. and there are a great many of them (educated) do not throw their garbage around.

Let's see what Modi can achieve???

Re: Dog shit
 

If you remember Britain went through a national campaigns in the 60s & 70s under the blurb " Keep Britain Tidy." and this was before the Enviro-Mentalists jumped on the bandwagon.Where i was born in the North was post industrial or rapidly becoming so and the area around the house was a complete mess through dumped rubbish on vacant industrial sites.Certainly every Goan government in the past 30 years has done nothing at all except close its collective eyes to the growing problem of rubbish disposal.The only problem with Goa is that collecting rubbish costs money and that would mean upping local taxes to pay for it.....How much do Goans pay in local taxation ? Ceratainly there is a need for a national campaign in India and penalties to stop people throwing rubbish anywhere they can.Especially out of car windows..!

Re: Dog shit
 

I can not remember the bit of North East England I grew up in being anything other than clean and tidy in the 50's 60's and 70's, however revisiting the North East in later years in particularly some run down areas the mess on the streets and even on the busses has to be easily on a par with Goa. Takeaway's cartons, plastic bottles and other things litter the streets. Luckily I live in the South east now in a clean and tidy village although we do pay a lot in council tax in part to keep it that way.
If, by Goan local taxes you mean the panchat tax then from what I understand very few locals actually pay it and it amounts to very little anyway, it is the non Goans with property that pay the tax and the tax we pay is a lot higher than that which the locals are supposed to pay.

Re: Dog shit
 

Goan Voice today. MLA Lobo was upset to find the beach in Calingute full of broken bottles left by Indian Tourists.HM...he wants to go down to Baga because at one point i thought it must be a recycling collection area for glass because it was full of broken bottles.They sit on the wall of the creek and throw them as a form of sport.I can only conclude that Lobo must be very short sighted or stupid, maybe both, because the whole F***ing beach from Candolim to Baga is full of bottles and in the bushes, turds, tampons, babies nappies,condoms and Uncle Tom Cobbley and all ......what a wan**r.....

Re: Dog shit
 

Agree with you, and with hemingway's deleted post!!!!!

Re: Dog shit
 

Read in today's The Herald that The Baga Beach Cleaning Association first run at cleaning up the mess totaled 17 tractor loads of garbage and guess what, my old mate Chandra, a taxi driver, was part of the initiative.During the Monsoon period its horrifying to discover whats actually in the ocean because despite people throwing waste in the Mandovi and thinking its gone, that's not actually true because most of it washes up due to the tides etc.

Re: Dog shit
 

That's the one.

Re: Dog shit
 

Just travelled on a domestic flight to Mumbai. The new terminal seemed bigger and cleaner etc. The cafeteria is far too small, very crowded today.

I must say I did not see any garbage on the floor, (I found myself 'scanning' the place for refuse, after your post), maybe you went on a bad day? or there are more bins now?
Jet seems to be deteriorating in service. They seemed to have forgotten the food and gave out trays at the same time as seat belts for landing!!! It was the usual tasteless 'wrap' anyway.
