Various dogs have started poo-ing in our driveway & as always can never be caught. Once we pick up the poo I throw neat bleach down in the vein hope that this will put other dogs off the scent & stop them poo-ing there too.
Does anyone have an alternative product they use that actually works?

You need to use boiling water. Cover the area with a strongly scented cleaner, then swill down with boiling water and scrub thoroughly. Then repeat.
Now you can apply your deterrant - moth balls are pretty effective. Remember, if this is known as the local loo for dogs, they'll all be at it, so you need to eradicate all traces until they get the message. You may have to do the treatment a couple of times, but it does work.
We've had this problem too. We bought some 'Get Off Spray' from Pets at Home. We sprayed the brick piers, but the dog poo still appeared. We then bought some 'Get Off Crystals' from the same shop & sprinkled them around the piers & along the front of the drive. We haven't had a dog poo problem since.
Of course, this could also be because our friend across the road spotted a little old lady letting her 'dear little dog' sit & poo in our drive.
The next time I saw this lady, I 'kindly' asked her to stop letting her dog do its business in our drive, but to let it do it in hers.
Good luck The Tiggster.
