   There's some stuff from the pet store called "Odor Mute" that works wonders with pet smells. It is a powder that you mix with warm water and just splash it over the affected area. It will knock the smell off of any doggy by-products on contact.It stays aroma free afterwards. Never tried it on cat (dog man to the bone) but I assume it will work great there too.

   If you've got a feed store around your area, try them too. They usually have the industrial size for kennel owners. Saves a few $$$.

   Stu,

   Good luck. If it's cats, you'll probably never get rid of it. Ditto for coons.

   *Try alot of vinegar. It'll smell like a big salad, but eventially goes away. The acid in the vinegar neutralizes the acid/bacteria in the urine and kills the smell. Jeff

   *FWIW,There's a place in Georgia that, if you'll dig out the offending soil and ship it to them, will remove the impurities and after testing, will ship it back. But it might just be easier to dump it locally since it's probably not hazardous and replace the fill (sand, dirt, whatever) that you remove with new non-smelly stuff.

   *Have four dogs, three cats who think the planer shavings are a litter box. Resolve Pet Stain and Odor Carpet Cleaner, orange spray bottle, Reckitt and Colman, Inc. Wayne, NJ 1-800-228-4722. Have used it on concrete, carpet, upholstery, etc. Think it might be easier to add it to their kibble... Smells like a French whorehouse--or so i've been told--but it works wonders, and the smell dissipates after a couple days. About $5 for 16 oz. Check a Petsmart or other pet store for bulk products in this line as there are many brands of odor removers, but this is one i know works great.

   *We used powdered lime (sp? maybe lyme?) in a portion of our yard to help with an overpowering dog urine smell ... got it at a local gardening supply. We didn't want anything to grow there anyway, and it worked extremely well on the odor, supposed to neutralize acid I think. We sprinkled it on the surface, and then tilled it in 3 or 4 inches deep.

   *Go to any Petco. Get a 3-4 Gallons of "Natures Miracle". Pour it into a lawn sprayer, you know the kind you pump up. Spray the stuff onto the ground and within 2-3 days the smell will be gone. I had a cat piss rug, and it neutralized it compeltely!

   I am going to be doing some house leveling on a 1920's house next week. The crawl space reeks of cat piss or something (probably best if not known). I recommended putting down a vapor barrier but was wondering if I should spray or treat the odor somehow. It seams to be rising into the house. What I wont do for a friend....Geez Any suggestions outside of spraying some fruity lysol or hanging a couple scented trees would help.
