Cats

Any DIY suggestions on how to get cats out of/ off my back garden?

I'm beginning to worry I may do something stupid as these cats are driving me crazy

    Get a super soaker and drench them.
  • Aren't there plants cats don't like? Or that alarm thing to scare them away?

    My cat can't win, gets told off for using litter tray in house and in my veg beds. He's no deterent to the neighbourhood cats either.

    Haven't tried these myself as we have the wrong kind of fence, but I hear these work well:

    They have a few other methods on that site too.

    Get a bag of reduced oranges from the market, rancid ones will do. Chop up the peel & scatter it over the worst soiled patches. Get any c**p up first.
