Has anybody found an effective way of deterring cats from the garden?


I'm sure somewhere on my property is a sign in cat speak that reads 'Public
Toilet'. A good part of my time gardening is spent clearing up their mess (I
thought they were supposed to bury it).


I would be quite happy to shoot them but feel the law may not agree with my
view that they are vermin and should be eradicated.


Do the pellets work or has anyone tried those ultrasonic device?


Any tips much appreciated.

Mel, try moth balls broken up into small pieces and scattered around
the garden, it worked for me.


Make some very dilute Jeyes or Armillatox in a watering can and
sprinkle it around everywhere, grass, paths, beds anywhere. It won't
hurt them but they won't go near it.
I had a cat doing his business on my front lawn every night but after
the above remedy it's been clear for 5 weeks now.

I wonder if that would work for chickens? my neighbour has enough to
feed the 5 thousand and for some reason they love rolling around and
making dust baths in my garden!
