Hi there, I'm hoping someone can help. We have just finished putting
slate around our front garden but a dog keeps fouling on it and a
neighbours cat too. We have put 'scent off' down which works for so long
and then it starts again. We have a fair idea who's dog it is and a
neighbour has had a similar problem and spoke to the owner. I have
contacted the council who say 'we must see it, or take a photo'. The
trouble is we never see it 'doing it' but do see it wandering around - it
takes itself for a walk each day (different times). The neighbours cat
has never covered its mess and the neighbours are ones that don't give a
hoot. We have a ranch fence down both sides of the garden and are
considering putting mesh over the timbers to stop the cat from coming
through. The bottom part of the front garden is open and may result in us
having more fence/shrubs and a gate put on so the dog can't get up the
path.

I'm loathe to fence the whole garden in but I don't see what else I can
do! When it doesn't foul our garden, it goes to another one but not to the
scruffy overgrown one next door to us but further down the street. I
don't know if ultrasonic devices will work but these cost almost as much
as it would for extra fencing.

Apologies for the long post but getting fed up with it and any
advice/suggestions appreciated.

Spray the area with an Aluminium Ammonium Sulphate solution. it's 10.4g/L.
(You can buy it in the shops I think it's called animal repellent).
Keeps most animals at bay and works great for rabbit damage.
