Spraying yard with 10% ammonia solution?

I have a friend who took in a bunch of kittens. Now, it appears that one may have coccidia. The websites I see on it say that the organism can live on surfaces and the area where the cat was should be cleaned by steam or with a 10% ammonia solution. The cats were all over her yard and have gone to the bathroom in the yard. She has lots of flowers and plants (none edible). What would happen if we spray the yard liberally with a 10% ammonia solution (after the sun has set one evening)?





Would the plants or grass die?

Spraying yard with 10% ammonia solution?
When they said the "area" where the cats were, they did not mean yard. They meant rugs, floor,carpeting, pet beds, blankets (indoors) - not the yard. The ammonia would kill off everything including your plants, grass, flowers as well as poison anything close to it (trees, bushes %26amp; all insects living off these greens). Just do not go there for awhile, stay clear of the yard. Nature can take care of its own without us adding toxic things to it.
Reply:I would surely try a small area first.aother day won't matter........
Reply:Most certainly the plants and grass would die with ammonia.


Call a vet and explain the situation; Ask him what is the best procedure.


Also call a nursery (plants) and ask them what to do, after you talk to the Vet.
Reply:Yes the plants or grass will die from tha ammonia. Im time, the feces will biograde and there won't be much to worry about.
Reply:I disagree. Ammonia is actually great for plants and grass. It is almost pure nitrogen. Jerry Baker uses it in all of his lawn tonics.


1 cup nitrogen


1 can beer


1can soda


1 cup epsom salt


1 cup dish soap





put in a hose end sprayer and watch your lawn green up.
