Question ID: 548584
My neighbor?s dog is always coming over to my gravel driveway to do
his business (shit).  I need to find a way of preventing him from
doing that without setting up fences.  One idea I have is to find a
non-toxic chemical to put down on the driveway that will either smell
bad to the dog but not to humans or irritate his paws enough to make
him want to stay away but not do any serious harm to him.  I need a
chemical that would not kill my walnut tree or any of the shrubs in my
garden that might be affected by water run off after it rains.

I would like a list of 5 such chemicals that could serve for this
purpose that would not cost more than US$30 to buy.

Can anyone help me with this?
