Will these bags repel dogs? In my city, it against the rule to put ur trash out in bins. Only tied up, bagged trash is allowed at the curb.

It isn't a very strong mint scent but I do think it masks the garbage smell. So asking if mint smell would repel a dog I doubt it, but masking a smell a dog would be sniffing for...maybe.

They've successfully repelled racoons, but that's not quite the same thing. I'd have some reservations, as I'm not aware of "mint" being a dog-repeller.

I am not sure but the mint smell is very strong which will deter animals. Hope this helps!

Hi, I do not know about dogs. We have garbage cans. We were having a huge problem with squirrels and mice. They had no problem getting into the cans and tearing open other bags. Garbage all over. The problem has been solved with these bags.

Personally I wouldn't use it to hold any pets in. The magnets work decent, but not strong enough to keep a pet from going through.

All dogs would detect the oder. The reaction of individual an dog would vary. Many would start a search behavior, others not. Many dogs will peruse skunk scent for example. Although probably not a wise choice, skunks are not considered preditors by dogs. I would not recommend this product as repellent for dogs. It actually may have just the opposite effect.

Yes. I've used garbage bags too, tied up tightly. Just so long as the bedbugs can't get out.

First of all, I wouldn't wait until the bag was actually FULL, because that's disgusting. As for where you can safety discard your bag o' poo, that rather depends on where you are. Presumably, your carefully sealed bag can be discarded along with / in the same place as your other garbage.

We have a trash can with a lid that locks and we take it to the street for trash pick up once a week however. We are considering the doggie Dooley. Basically a septic tank for dog poop. So no added plastic and dog poop to our landfills.

Oh I wouldn't know! We have 2 cats and throw away the litter every day at the apartment's big dumpster. But, we have a kitty litter trash can by the door and sometimes leave it there all day cause we're too lazy to go to the dumpster, and it does not smell unpleasant while it's sitting there. The bags do have fragrance to help hide any smells.

I save the dog food bags and use them for the poops. They are plenty big and that way they have another use since most can't be recycled.

We just use regular trash bags. It works just fine. The drawstring bags are the best. Easy to dispose of. Just make sure to get the sturdy ones, not the cheap ones that rip easily or you'll have a nasty mess to deal with. <3

Yes. They're not smell proof. What I've done is gotten an plastic trashcan that sits in the back of the house. If there is a very large amount of waste inside the trash can, I can imagine it would snell, but I do not let mine get over a quarter full. Taken out every trash day. To clarify, if you're looking for no smell whatsoever, these are NOT the bags you want. Hope I helped. Have a good weekend!

I don't think normal trash bags will work as the bag is held in place by the plastic ring at the top of the bag.

Hi, As far as I know it does not use plastic bags (there is no way to secure a bag to the scooper). Since I use it in the back of my house on the grass, I store the pooper scooper outdoors, so I just use the hose to clean it. I like the fact that it is taller than other pooper scoopers and has a good "spring action" to pick up the poop. I've ordered several of these over the years because some of the "teeth" on the bottom break off (not sure if it is because I leave it outdoors, or I sometimes accidently pick up a little rock). With 3 dogs, I would say overall it does work well, I just wish it was made of a stronger plastic or material so the "teeth" would break.

We use these bags for weights outdoors during the summer. 40# bags get tossed onto a rubber mat and dragged around. Wed do not slam the bags or move them more than a few times a day. We store them inside. We have found them to break down over the course of one summer season. The bags are woven and weaken then shred upon handling.

I started using a regular trash bag, but it does not provide much odor protection. I cut the hard plastic top off a refill bag and looped a regular trash bag in its place. I Lysol the whole contraption every so often in order to keep the stinkies under control.

Hi, I have the largest garbage can in my area which is 65 gallon and the bags fit with plenty of room to extend up and over so I can secure them. My can looks like the one in the photo. I actually use bag clips on each corner to secure the bags and they work fine, even when I have heavy things in the container. Just don't forget to remove the clips on garbage day!

Yes & yes. We had a problem with new neighbors and they kept letting their dogs bark between our houses when they tether them outside. After asking nicely, and it turning into a battle, I bought these to deter them from putting their dogs on our side of their yard. No more barking dogs! (They rent and they know I have complained to their landlord, so if they think we have something on tape, & it stops the barking, all the better)! The blinking light light can be seen easily at night to deter anyone from your home/office.
