I couldn't find a newsgroup that would really related to my question so
this group came the closest. I live in a subdivision where many
neighbors have pets(dogs). Everytime i mow the yard some dogshit is
laying in the grass. I can't find any lawn chemicals to discourage dogs
from shitting in my yard. The alternative is that i heard dogs do not
like high pitch sounds. Is there an audio device that i can attach to
one side of my house from maybe wire it from inside my house to the
exterior of the left side of my house to sound off this device, thus
discouraging dogs from getting on my side yard? Thanks.

A 20-second googls search for "ultrasonic pest dog" came up with this:

I've seen similar devices with water sprinkler heads. I bet those are more
effective against deaf dogs.

Yup.... dogs will get used to the sound. Better train 'em right. ;-)
