Default Movement activated Sprinkler

Hello all,

I have been researching the best method to deter a cat from using my
Garden as a Toilet and believe the most efficient and least problematic
(Litigation concerns) method is to install a Movement activated
sprinkler in the area which this pest animal frequents.


I wouldn't even dream about using paint bombs etc. on a neighbours
Cat. Get a dog! Problem solved. :-)

I'd rather suggest that you approach your Local Council to find out
their attitude regarding wandering pets.

I'm in Victoria where many suburbs have legislation and penalties
regarding wandering pets. In my suburb for example, Dogs & Cats etc.
are not allowed to wander. Our Local Council will drop off a trap and
subsequently come back and take away a Cat that was trapped.
If the Cat has an identification implant or is wearing an
identification collar or disk, it will be returned to the owner with
an appropriate fine, otherwise it would be put down.

The above avoids any Litigation concerns.
