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

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.

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 .

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.
