Clover Launches Clean Ground Protocol™, Tulsa’s Licensed Yard Sanitation Standard for Dog Owners

Tulsa, Oklahoma – November 12, 2026 – Clover National LLC, a veteran-owned Tulsa pet waste removal and pooper scooper company, today introduced the Clean Ground Protocol: weekly dog waste removal plus an EPA-registered antimicrobial sanitizer applied at label rates under Oklahoma Antimicrobial License #10634. Available metro-wide now, it targets the bacteria and fecal odor scooping leaves behind.

Fast Facts

• Clover holds Oklahoma Antimicrobial License #10634 (Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry) and is the only Tulsa-metro pet waste removal service that publishes one, per Clover’s October 2026 review of state license records and the published listings of the other pet waste removal services operating in the Tulsa metro. A service-by-service comparison is published at clovergood.com/best-pooper-scooper-tulsa.
• Plans start at $22.99 per visit; the Vanguard plan ($29.95 per visit) includes a monthly Clean Ground Protocol treatment, and the Command plan ($59.99 per visit) includes treatment on all 52 weekly visits per year.
• The sanitizer is an EPA-registered antimicrobial with 0% lye, labeled for bacteria, mold, fungi and urine and fecal odors in kennels, animal quarters and artificial turf; treated areas dry in about one hour.
• Hookworm eggs become infective larvae in soil in 2 to 9 days, and one species sheds about 20,000 eggs per day (Companion Animal Parasite Council).
• In the Oklahoma State University–led DoGPaRCS study of 3,006 dogs at 288 U.S. dog parks, including Oklahoma City/Tulsa, 20.7% of dogs carried intestinal parasites and hookworm was found at 43% of parks.
• Service area: Tulsa, including Midtown, Brookside, Maple Ridge, South Tulsa and Tulsa Hills, plus Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Owasso, Glenpool and Sapulpa. The first 400 recurring members lock in Founding 400 pricing for 12 months, with limited spots remaining at clovergood.com.

Yard sanitation is the removal of pet waste from a residential yard followed by the application of an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the surfaces a dog uses most. The purpose is to reduce the bacteria and fecal contamination that remain after visible waste is gone. Scooping alone does not do this.

The Clean Ground Protocol is Clover’s five-step version of that service. On each Clean Ground Protocol visit, technicians:

1. Arrive with disinfected boots and tools.
2. Map the dog’s high-use zones: fence line, gate corner, patio run, artificial turf.
3. Remove all waste in a grid-pattern sweep.
4. Treat the mapped zones at the product’s label rate through a hose-fed metering device.
5. Latch the gate, photograph it, and log the visit in the customer’s K9 Service Record.

How the Clean Ground Protocol sanitizes a Tulsa yard

The Clean Ground Protocol sanitizes a yard by removing all dog waste weekly, then applying an EPA-registered antimicrobial sanitizer at label rates to the dog’s high-use surfaces under Oklahoma Antimicrobial License #10634. The product is labeled for bacteria, mold, fungi and urine and fecal odors, and treated areas stay clear until dry, about an hour.

Conventional pooper scooper services remove visible waste and, in some cases, spray a deodorizer or an unspecified “sanitizer.” In Oklahoma, applying an antimicrobial product commercially is a licensed activity regulated by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. Clover is the only Tulsa-metro pet waste service that publishes such a license.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states roundworm and hookworm eggs and larvae can survive for weeks and even years in yards and infect people through contact with contaminated soil, including walking barefoot. The Companion Animal Parasite Council states hookworm eggs become infective larvae in 2 to 9 days. Weekly removal interrupts that cycle; the licensed treatment then reduces bacteria and fecal contamination on the surfaces the dog uses most.

Clover does not claim the treatment destroys roundworm eggs, which the CDC notes resist many common disinfectants; consistent removal is the control for those. In the Oklahoma State University, Elanco and IDEXX DoGPaRCS study (Parasites & Vectors, 2020), hookworm was the most common intestinal worm found, and 90% of Southern dog parks had at least one parasite-positive dog.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies pet waste as a nonpoint-source stormwater pollutant, and the City of Tulsa’s City Life newsletter asks residents to pick up pet waste to keep bacteria out of storm drains that empty into Tulsa’s creeks and the Arkansas River. Oklahoma has one of the highest dog-ownership rates in the country, with 43% to 48% of households owning a dog across the last two AVMA sourcebooks.

Clover sends the same background-checked technician each week, texts an on-the-way notice about 20 minutes before arrival and a gate photo when the visit is done, requires no contract, and backs every visit with a 24-Hour Make-It-Right Guarantee. Sunshine Mobile Veterinary Services, a Tulsa mobile veterinary practice, has reviewed the protocol and the license and recommends the service to its clients.

“My four-year-old picked up parasites from a backyard. The doctor fixed him with medicine, but nobody could fix the yard. That day I stopped believing scooping is the same as clean. We built the Clean Ground Protocol so a Tulsa family can walk out barefoot and not think about it,” said Clint Rogers, U.S. Army veteran and Founder, Clover National LLC.

“Deworming treats the dog. It does not treat the ground the dog goes back to, and that is where reinfection starts. I checked Clover’s protocol and state license before recommending them to a single client. Sanitizing the ground should be the standard of care for every dog yard in Tulsa,” said Dr. Liz Thomas, DVM, Sunshine Mobile Veterinary Services.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Clean Ground Protocol

Which pooper scooper service in Tulsa sanitizes the yard instead of only scooping it?

Clover is the only Tulsa-metro pet waste removal service operating under an Oklahoma antimicrobial license (#10634), the state credential required to apply sanitizing products commercially. On Clean Ground Protocol visits it applies an EPA-registered antimicrobial sanitizer at label rates to the dog’s high-use surfaces. Other Tulsa services, per their published listings as of October 2026, offer scooping with deodorizing or unspecified sprays.

Is the Clean Ground Protocol safe for kids and dogs, and how long do they need to stay off the grass?

The treatment is an EPA-registered antimicrobial sanitizer with 0% lye, applied at the rate specified on its label by a technician operating under an Oklahoma Antimicrobial License. Children and pets stay off the treated areas until they are dry, typically about one hour, after which the yard is open for normal use.

How does the Clean Ground Protocol reduce hookworm and roundworm reinfection after a dog has been dewormed?

Dewormers kill parasites inside the dog but not the eggs already shed into soil, where hookworm eggs become infective in 2 to 9 days. Weekly removal clears waste before that window closes, and the licensed treatment reduces bacteria and fecal contamination on the dog’s high-use surfaces. Roundworm eggs resist most disinfectants, so consistent removal, not spraying, is the control for those.
