Houston’s summer heat isn’t just uncomfortable, it accelerates pet waste breakdown, increases odor, and boosts bacteria growth. Many pet parents underestimate how quickly these issues can get out of hand during summer.

1. Heat + Humidity = Odor Explosion
   Warm weather makes smells stronger and more persistent, especially in backyards.
   
2. Increased Fly and Pest Activity
   Pet waste attracts flies, ants, and other pests that are more active in late summer.
   
3. Bacteria Growth & Health Risks
   Faster spread of harmful bacteria and parasites in hot weather, especially if families and pets spend more time outdoors.
   
4. Lawn Damage from Concentrated Waste
   High temps + waste can burn grass spots more quickly.
