    The orange peal works,

    our cats are, sorry have been using the empty bits of my tiny plot to poo in. I have started to put some peal down and they are now using the area where there is no peal....

    Obviously depends on what kind of area you're trying to protect but I poke bits of bamboo canes or twigs beside all my newly installed bedding plants, just 6-12" or so. Would work with young veg plants too. If the cat doesn't have room to squat they won't poo there. It also stops them rushing through the area and flattening the plants while they are establishing (which is my main reason for doing this). This stops our cats doing both these things BUT they also have plenty of other bits of flowerbed where they can dig and poo to their hearts content (plus the litter tray).

    Nailing wooden carpet gripper strips on the fences solved the problem with instant rersults.

    Anyone know of any cheap ones? I have had a look for the catwatch one which seems to of had good reviews but they seem very pricey.

    All the local cats use our garden as the toilet - not happy!

    [FONT=&quot]There are many types of cat repeller. But they all does the same job emit a sound that makes cats run away. The most common and frankly best quality is detection repellers that you discreetly locate in your garden. They are battery and weather proof and also work by using a sensor to detect movement in a garden and then emit a sonic pulse. This sonic pulse is inaudible to anything else but a cat, so it will not bother you.:beer:[/FONT]
