Rascal Spots Keeps your Lawn Healthy even with Rascally Dogs

You love your dog, but you don't like what he or she is doing to your lawn. Rascal Spots is a spray that can fix dog urine patches on your lawn as they occur, or even prevent them from happening in the first place.

This ready-to-spray concentrate is a natural, organic, non-chemical product designed to protect, or cure, damage to any part of a lawn. The formula is effective for all climate regions, all soil types and all grass species.

Rascal Spots consumes the ammonia from the urine, binds the salts from the urine and increases soil permeability to allow for grass recovery.

"We have the only product that attacks to the root of the problem — salt buildup from the pet's urine," said Edd Goerger, president of Natural Solutions, makers of Rascal Spots.

Anyone with a lawn and a dog who uses it as a lavatory will eventually have a buildup of salts. Rascal Spots will help prevent and cure problem areas.

Goerger came up with the idea after experiencing the problem of dead spots in his own lawn. He worked with a soil scientist who used natural products to develop the Rascal Spots formula.

"By sequestering the salt it is not attracted to and attached to soil particles and that allows the salt to move through the soil profile with regular watering or rain," he said, according to a press release.

Rascal Spots also utilizes "greenalizer technology" that greens up the lawn naturally with microbes in the same application. To use, simply attach the bottle of Rascal Spots to a garden hose and spray the affected area.

One bottle covers 5,000 square feet.

To speed up grass growth in affected areas, reseeding can be done immediately after application. You can apply Rascal Spots anytime from first greening in early spring through fall dormancy.

Rascal Spots is made in the USA from organic compounds and non-pathogenic bacteria, which is safe for lawns and will not harm animals or children. Retail price is $35 for a quart bottle. For more information, call 701-318-0690 or visit www.rascalspots.com.
