DOG POOP HAZARD! I put this makeshift weighted sign here on the sidewalk as a courtesy to warn neighbors and other passersby, but for future incidents I may make some miniature orange traffic cones that say “dog poop hazard <poop emoticon>” on them. (You can see a photo on my Facebook post.)
Humor can be effective too! And we could all use a laugh in our day. I picture people doing a double-take at some homemade miniature orange traffic cones. With maybe some bright-yellow “crime scene” tape around them. <wink emoticon>
When people let their dogs poop on the sidewalk, I usually put sand over it and let it bake/dry in the blistering Florida sun for a day, and then clean it up off of the sidewalk. Once it’s dry, it’s way less obnoxious to clean up.
