100% guaranteed way to get rid of Cats:

A 177 or even better a 22 air pistol ….no cat = no cat !!!!!!!

I’ve also herd that if you manage to catch a Starfish from the seaside & feed this to cats that it does them in

… I feel the air pistol method is more humane as you then don’t need to kill the starfish!

LOL Was gonna suggest that I was thinking of using a pellet gun but I'd thought I would wait until someone else did first. Great minds think alike.

We have just put a load of stones on our front garden and one of the neighbours cats think its a giant cat litter box, would the garlic work on stones as well as grass??

Yeah, I would think so. Make sure you clear the area that they have dirtied and then put the garlic down. When I last treat mine I just put the garlic all over my front which consists of pots and pebbles.
Dont crush the garlic, just chop it finely and sprinkle all around. I did mine approx 3 months ago, never had a cat again. I presume I will have to treat again sometime in the future, thats when they get sick of the garden they are using now

I AM SURE WE HAVE HAD THIS THREAD BEFORE, SO I AM SORRY FOR DRAGGING IT UP AGAIN!

WE HAVE A GREAT AREA AT OUR LOWER SCHOOL FOR OUR GARDENING CLUB BUT IT IS BEING 'USED' BY SOME CATS. I NEED A DETERRENT WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH CHILDREN. I SEEM TO REMEMBER SOMEONE USED OLD TEABAGS SOAKED WITH RALJEX OR ESSENTIAL OILS AND DOTTED THEM AROUND THE GARDEN. HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS? HAS IT WORKED?
ALL IDEAS WELCOME. MANY THANKS

some cat/dog has started leaving unwanted presents at the bottom of the garden. I know that you can buy products which stops/reduces these animals from using your garden as a toilet. Did buy some in powder and pellet form but didnt help much.

Being on benefits i rather find cheaper means of getting rid of these pest. Read the ingrediants of the powder box that it contains pepper as well as other ingrediants.

does anyoneknow of a cheaper way of preventing these pest from fouling the garden?

thanks

Catch them at it and use a catapult, usually works.
