Default Cat Scarers

I believe that an effective deterrent is to put some food out laced with
some anti-freeze. Other than that a large store of stones to throw keeps
then on their toes.



Excuse my ignorance - but what effect does the anti-freeze have ?

Anti freeze des not deter cats, it kills them. A very painful and nasty
death too. However much you hate cats, surely you don't really want them
dead?
I found that a number of cheapo poundland moustraps scattered about did
an effective job of scaring the cats. Take off the bait spike and leave
them set in the places the cats go, the snap scares them and they go
somewhere else, unfortunately it's usually on your neighbours garden.
