Real buyer frustrations

Neighbors repeatedly let their dogs defecate on someone else’s lawn and never pick it up, leaving owners to repeatedly remove and document piles.
No clear, tested deterrent strategy: owners try ad-hoc solutions (sprinklers, signs, pesticides) but report inconsistent results and want step-by-step, low-risk deterrent plans.
Confusion and distrust about bag labeling ("biodegradable" vs "compostable") leads buyers to worry they’re still sending plastics to landfill and they want a plain-language buying/storage guide.
Owners lack practical templates and workflows for gathering evidence (photos/CCTV), reporting offenders, and following up with authorities or HOA so complaints actually lead to enforcement.
Worry that other animals or pets will eat feces (coprophagia) and become ill; owners want concrete prevention steps and quick signs to know when to seek veterinary care.
