How can l get rid of the fertilizer neighbors put on my yard? l do not want my chickens to eat it or dogs on it...

My neighbor thought they were being helpful by fertilizing our back yard when they did theirs. l have 12 baby chicks l was planning to put back there, but l do not want them to eat the little greenish-yellow balls of chemicals. One of my dogs has new puppies as well and l do not want her on the grass and then going right to her puppies. Is there a way to get rid of it or neutralize it? What will happen if the chicks and/or puppies ingest any of it? We've never used chemicals and it just makes me sick that they would not ask first! Any help is great, thanks!

Water the yard thoroughly

I do not know, but I would not put the animals out there until its gone. I would be really mad at my neighbors if they did that! Could u vacuum it up with a shop vac? Then water it really really well to get it off the surface.

We do not use any chemicals, but I would imagine if u just walk the dog it will be okay, but she should not roll in it before nursing the pups. Just keep her on a leash. The chicks, I think it would be very harmful to them.

I would ask the neighbors to get it off the yard & never put anything else on it. They would not want ur chickens & puppies on their yard, would they? Put up a good fence.

Is it just fertilizer or is it ''weed and feed''. Just water you lawn. It should not pose any hazard to them after 24 hours.
