Dog pee/urine smell outside

[Derby6]

Sat outside yesterday and kept getting a urine smell from time to time. I’ve barely been here a week so it could be my dog but I suspect previous folks at this site had dogs? Area is sandy with small rocks (desert).
I tried to rinse with 4-5 gallons of water where I thought I could see pee spots. Even added a lil pine sol to 1 gallon. When I went out this morning I thought I got another whiff.
Curious is others experienced or had ideas to cut the smell. Baking powder all over won’t work. Lol. Maybe simple green? Just keep watering/diluting it as best I can? It’s not oh my god unbearable but figured I’d ask.


NOTE: I do not put this in the pets section because some without pets may have experienced this in a RV site.

Is it a boondocking spot?

Try Odoban. You can get it at any of the big box stores.

 

[Derby6]

No in a campground.

Thanks I’ll try and find that.

Simple Green and NaturVet both have yard odor sprays that come in a hose end sprayer. They're mostly meant for kennels but would probably do the job easily.

Are you sure it is a urine smell? Some vegetation such as ornamental pear trees have a smell that most consider pretty bad or similar to urine or bo. It warmed up here in the past few days and i noticed the smell today.

1 tree still dormant. It’s pee.

OK, I learned something while at my stay at a state historic site working as a volunteer that I did not know before.

Bats! Bats have an ammonia smell when they pee, and it's pretty noticeable. Do you have bats in your location. Bat pee smell will come and go. There's not much you can do for it except let time air it out.

Do you have bats in the area?

 

[Derby6]

Nope no bats. Lol
No smell when I sat out today. Did lil more water around and watered immediately when I saw my dog pee. Still gonna pick up some simplegreen odoban if I find it. Can’t hurt.

Moving is not an option?

 

[Mr Lars]

Just out curiosity, is there another rv close by with brand new tires?

 

[Derby6]

No one nearby. really big sites.
I could try and move but it’s not that big a deal. Just thought I’d ask here and got some good advice that I Hope helps others too.

Pray for rain?

I suspect rain might make the smell temporarily worse.

Had a similar problem once with a next door neighbor whose dog was kept in a small pen with rocks, directly on the property line. Dog was almost never taken out for a walk, and over the years, the smell was awful--pee, not poop. Dog was getting thin and obviously not well cared for, so I secretly called the township and they came and took him away, but kennel continued to smell for maybe a year.

I think you could try baking soda in the most likely area if the smell comes back. maybe wet it down a bit?

Could you move your chairs to front of your rig?

Your story (apart from the reprehensible animal cruelty part) reminds me of a local story from a few years ago.

One of the towns near where I live was looking for land on which to build a new high school. They tried to purchase the land from a dairy farm just outside the town limits. The farmer was not interested in selling. So the school district used eminent domain to acquire the property anyway.

So, what did the farmer do? He moved his manure pit to the border with what is now the school district's property! oop:

Yea not sure when we’ll get rain here. LOL
If it becomes bothersome, sitting it front is what we said we’d do.

What was the schools mascot ? A dairy cow would be appropriate.

Where are you? What state & locality?

 

[Derby6]

Nellis AFB — Las Vegas.

Rinsing with water helps, but adding an enzyme-based cleaner like Nature’s Miracle or Simple Green Outdoor Odor Eliminator might work better to break down any remaining scent.If it’s still lingering in the air, running an Airlock air purifier inside your RV could help keep any odors from drifting in when doors or windows are open.
