Cat deterrents

I'm having the exact same problem Rodders.
Tried Jeyes fluid. Carter's pi55 technique. Nothing seems to work.
Seriously f****** g me off now. I bloody hate cats with a passion. Do cats shit in their own gardens? Things should be kept on a bloody lead.3 -
Ground black pepper sprinkled over flower beds and pots will keep them away, but you have to reapply regularly.
I shot the f*ckers with a water pistol if I catch them. They don't like it! It has worked to some extent in that now I only get my next door neighbours cats in the garden and not the whole flipping streets. If you live in Dartford and your cat comes home soaking wet, then it's probably made the mistake of wandering through my garden :-)4 -

The lion shit doesn’t work I’m afraid, I ordered tonnes of it when we moved here. Had to use it as bbq brickettes and give it to the neighbours at Xmas/new year just to shift it....0

I bought a couple of ultrasonic cat repellers made by Vitax, cost over £30 each did the trick, a bugger if you suffer from tinnutus , like me!1

What I'll say is there is no need to harm anyone's pet. There are plenty of ways of keeping them out humanely without striking an animal tiny in comparison to humans8

Same problem, kids are 3 and 5 and every day there is new shit on the lawn for them to run and roll through. Tried some green gel stuff, didn’t work. Tried ultrasound stuff, didn’t work. Very close to training my 3 year old to take a dump on their front lawn each morning or accidentally locking the cat in my garage. To make it worse, they are Palace fans. I thought the point of a litter tray was for them to go in that.1

Cats are furry b@rst@rds.
Play them at there own game.
Feed one of the cats everyday for a week.
Then just once a month.
The cat will regard your garden as hid territory and won't use it as a toilet. It will also fight any cat attempting to enter your garden.0 -
Fence/wall spikes. We've got cats and so installed them on both sides of our garden but not the back. Also paid for immediate neighbours gardens to be kitted out as a gesture of good will.

All hail our feline overlords10 -

Befriend them and then slap a dollop of mustard up the ‘arris.3

We have two cats, one with some health problems so he tends to go a lot.
We've recently moved and at the old house, they would never shit in our garden, our neighbour got some, but they tended to go in the woods behind the house.
Now we have even bigger woods and fields behind the garden in the new house, they have decided to just shit in our garden. Mainly in the flower beds right by the back windows and door.
Fucking stinks. Filthy animals.7 -

Cat deterrents were useless as most other things you can buy at the garden centre. Bought a dog and that solved the problem straight away.0

If they're shitting in your garden they will generally use the same place.
Get some wooden barbecue skewers and cut them in half and plant in the ground where they shit, so the cat cannot adopt the pooping stance. If they move on keep plantings the skewers. They will eventually move on.
Worked for me, well not actually for me, but the neighbours's cats.
Other than that, has been previously said Lion's shit.

Get an English Bull Terrier......chasing cats is just about their favourite pastime.
They will wait patiently for days on end sleeping in their bed by the French windows or under a tree on the lawn with one eye open......then suddenly......... BANG CRASH WALLOP!
Scares the life outa me, I jump outa my skin.....let alone the hapless moggy.

The other one is alright, just a bit of an arsehole who does what he wants.0 -
Haven't tried this with cats, but have had success with squirrels and foxes coming into the garden and digging up the. Lawn. Find where they sniff around
Chilli powder........ They don't come back0 -
Good tips in this thread. They piss me off big time.
As for the dog, it rather depends on the dog. Our current dog is a hunting dog, and she kills. The trouble is that she will go after the cat through the gap in the fence, and we just know the final kill will happen in the garden of the neighbour who owns the cat. My wife also frets that some cats know how to look after themselves, and go for the eyes. The previous dog, a Labbie, hated cats in the correct way, but was too slow, and a lot of collateral damage was exacted in the chase.
But I guess if your dog lives mainly in the garden itself that is very effective.1 -
You are trying to get rid of a pest...I would try the following:RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Can anyone please recommend deterrents for cats that actually work?
Both sides of neighbours have them and all coming into the garden and shitting all over it which is a pain as having to clear it up every day before letting the kids out there.
Can't really ask the neighbours to stop it as impossible to control cats other than lock them in and don't want to get into petty acts of lobbing it over fences as it achieves nothing and doesn't solve the problem.
A very first world problem I know but any suggestions that have worked for you will be gratefully received.
Cheers
- throw some squidgy black cabs and pigs at it.
- try whistling at it.
- visit its home and waive some banners
- if the above fails, try starting a political party to protest about cats.
- if none of the above works then simply boycott your garden, just try not to fall out with your family if they wish to continue visiting the garden.
End of the day, it is what it is though.11 -
Can't imagine why lion shit is preferable to cat shit?1
