Help!cats using my garden as a loo (merged threads)

Debbie_S

I haven't read all of this thread so I apologize if I am repeating someone. We have had great success with the mini windmill thingys. They were 99p each from a cheap shop and spin when the wind blows. We stick them in the lawn and move them round the garden so the cats don't get used to them.

anyone mentioned garlic- we've got a sprinkle that we bought from pet shop- its garlic based and works a treat. my neighbour shares a path with me and has pea gravel his side- i have limestone my side and his gets shat on by all the local cats- mine doesn't so the clearly don't like limestone gravel either!

Your neighbour should buy one of these - the cat problem would soon vanish

I know this has been discussed before and I have read through all the pages on other threads about this, but I am looking from some real advice from people who have had a problem with cats pooping in their garden and been able to stop the cats from doing so.

I have read about garlic, citrus products, lion products, jeyes fluid, and ultrasonic devices.
I am interested in the ultrasonic things they look interesting. Can anyone give me some real feedback on the effectiveness of these or any other method.

And if your a cat owner who wants to tell me how cruel this is please don't bother. I have had it with cats poop in my garden. My child plays outside and comes in with cat poop on his shoes. I am worried about [SIZE=-1]Toxoplasmosis and other diseases. I don't want cat owners trying to tell me what to do. Look after your cat correctly and I wouldn't have this problem. I want good advice not stupid opinions.

Thanks.
