It's a good idea I often pee in my garden and down my drive (late at night)
and it seems to be working.

Ermm - after six months of trying all forms of cat repellent (who
seem to do their stuff on my lawn rather than borders and bury it -
we don't have a catand there is a large cat population on our
estate), and out of purefinancial exasperation I tried the Human
Urine 'marking my territory' bit.

It works very well ! Repeat every fort night (I collect mine in a
milkbottle in the down stairs toilet and then sprinkle it over the
lawn and fence posts after dark !!). The cats get the message. You
might find that after a while the passway smells a bit to your nose -
but atleast you won't be dodging things..

Sorry for those eating their tea whilst reading this post !!

I am now on a mission.

We have one access to our property. It is via a gate from the main
road, walking between two properties (an alleyway in effect) towards
our garden then a left turn to our stairs leading to our flat.

Now the problem is that our alley is used as a cat toilet...BIG
TIME. Every night at least one or two cat dumps would mysteriously
appear along the ally.

We are plagued with at least 6 or 7 cats who use our garden and I
have used everything over the last year or so to stop them fouling
the alleyway.

I have used all the specialised chemical deterrents on the market
(powders and liquid) ... NO GOOD.

I have used bleaches, even Jeyes Fluid and Jeyes Dustbin Powder...NO
GOOD.

Bought a high-powered, pump water pistol. Cats used to laugh at
that. In desperation I filled it with a Jeyes solution ... it
melted the water reservoir ... NO GOOD.

I now use two ultrasound cat repellers around and down the alley.
It has cut the crap by about 25% but there are still deaf cats about
so ...NO GOOD.

What do I do now? Summer is upon us and today the alley was full of
crap and swarms of flies.

I'm getting to the point where I want to buy an air rifle but fear
this may be frowned upon so will not mention it just yet

SERIOUSLY - Anyone know how to build an electric barrier (similar to
cattle fencing but adjusted voltage for smaller mammals). I am no
electronics expert so I am not too hot on volts and currents.

I will be posting soon re gaining info and experiences in the hope
that I could soon lobby my local council to make a bye-law as per
references to the Public Health Act 1938 with reference also to the
Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Regards all
