Odors In Dirt, Yards, and Gardens
Eliminating urine, spray and feces odors and controlling mold and mildew
odors in yards and gardens is a simple task for OdorXit products. Because
of the biodegradable nature of OdorXit Concentrate, treating out door
areas should be done in the evening so that the Sun's degrading action
is minimized.
If you have a small contaminated area (100 sq.ft. or so), a tank type
yard sprayer will work fine. Again it is more important to thoroughly
wet the affected area than it is to use a lot of OdorXit. You have to
get the OdorXit Concentrate to the odor causing material that has dried
on the vegetation and soaked into the dirt to eliminate the odor. Normal
30:1 dilution rate works fine on small areas. Lower concentrations 50-80
to l (and a larger volume of solution) should be applied on larger
areas or gravel.
For a large area of contamination try
to find and use an
Ortho DIAL 'n SPRAY ® Hose-End Sprayer (the web site is very
difficult to navigate) or a Sears/
Gilmore DIAL-A-MIX ® Hose-End Sprayer
and it becomes a really easy task. Just pour part of a bottle of OdorXit
Concentrate into the dispenser bottle, set the dial to 1/2 ounces per
gallon, turn the water on, and spray the contaminated area. The low
concentration is to account for the fact that these devices put out a lot
of water and you only need a little OdorXit soaked into the dirt and
vegetation to eliminate the odor problem. The large amount of water simply
makes it easier for the OdorXit to get to the source of the odor. Using a
fixed dilution rate Hose-End Sprayers simply requires that you dilute the
OdorXit in the dispenser bottle. Generally speaking 1 part of OdorXit to 4
parts of water works very well and gives you plenty of time to spray all
the affected areas.
If you are treating both scent spray and urine, first eliminate urine
odor with the low concentration OdorXit Concentrate and then attack the
scent spray odor. Scent spray is almost always "On" something, not in
the ground. Eliminating the urine odor first will make it much easier
to find and treat the scent spray odor with small amounts of higher concentration
OdorXit (15 water to 1 OdorXit works well). A 16 ounce trigger spray bottle
is much better suited for scent spray than a tank sprayer of hose end
sprayer.
OdorXit will not damage your flowers or bushes.
