yep thats what i was gonna say hydrated lime

Pinesol. It works really well. Just spray it on the fence or flooring about every other day. Cuts down on the flies as well.

do you have on the ground pens or off ground if off ground 2 dozen red worms and lime dust the worms eat the poop as well i clean mine evey day to 2 days depens on work

thanks to all for the advice.the lime really seemed to do the trick.city came back out today and and said that it was great and that they were sorry to bother me in the first place.

Go to Sam's and get a product called ODO-BAN. It won't only kill the smell but it makes the kennels smell good.

I use lime and the odo-ban that denver is talkin about. Seems to work pretty good, I dont have any neighbors close by, but the smell can get a little un-bearable for me lol

My dogs are on concrete and I use a 50/50 bleach solution about twice a week this time of year and spread lime around the outsides. Seems to work for me.

ive use odo ban bleach works alot better the odo ban try bleach but make sure you dilute it very well because it can choke not only you but the dogs out

Our kennels are east of the house, so we're upwind!!!

I agree with the lime. Also I have found out it depends sometimes the dog food you are feeding. Some of your cheaper feed makes your dogs crap more and the smell is worst. If not many dogs you may look into a more expensive dog food .

I tried the pinesol the other day and it worked really well.

ive tried it all and i use lime dust and bleach out the pads weekly and wash daily, pinsol don't last long and the bleach dosen't either, lime will kill the smell for 2 to 4 wks and its cheap. but the red worms sounds like a good idea i believe i will try it to help remove the excessive poo.

it does work and you have fishing bait in the summer
