Cat Repellents?

Chicken wire in your border areas is a good one. Plants survive, the wires below the surface so when cats dig they catch their claws. Puts them.off from that area

This problem drove me demented last year. The person over the end of my garden has 11 cats. In the end I had to spend out and cover every single earth area with stone/pebbles/shingle which has helped a bit but they still use my tiny lawn as their toilet. My garden is too small to grow too much so I have now given up and just have shrubs along fences and terracotta pots with herbs. I have loads of fairy ornaments and tbh it has meant less hard work. I am now considering saving for an artificial lawn in the hope that will deter the pesky cats. There were some good tips on a previous thread about this way back if you can find it.

My neighbour used to swear by laying water bottles on the grass. I'm not sure that works though. Someone else told me dog poo deters them They also love loose soil so compact the soil or put flower pots or ornaments over it. You can also get fake cat ornaments with glowing eyes that scare cats away.

I think there is some spray which works or this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pest-XT-Ultrasonic-Activated-Repeller/dp/B073VLJJMK/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1550830308&sr=8-15&keywords=cat+away

or u can get a dog...

Thank you everyone for your advice I will put them all together and make a plan.

it's a territory thing, so if you try to mark your territory with your own stuff (whatever you choose), it should work. I know that human hair works for foxes, but never heard if they worked for cats

Nerf gun at the ready!

Omg I have the same problem! Someone help. I tried nets, tried citronella spray, cat repellent, solar powered motion sensor audible alarm, tried water bottles (Doesn't work), Rogue cats

My own cats have always had the decency to defecate in my neighbours' gardens. But when a neighbour's cat had the temerity to poo in my own flowerbeds (repeatedly, killing campanula I bought, then killing the replacement campanula I bought), the neighbour bought me a bottle of this stuff. Worked a treat. https://www.robertdyas.co.uk/get-off-crystals-460g?istCompanyId=bf3344d9-83f5-4abd-b69a-da131f7567d1&istItemId=ptliqixrl&istBid=tztm&source=&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2L7jBRCBARIsAPeAsaOsvCjGNbeyUL2KD7MGT22gVTDwjpi_2fLw6f8mUcVULVbXXOBT0uUaAlkXEALw_wcB
