Preferably with a high pressure water hose from the Fire Brigade and blast them into the nearest river :-( Seriously, it will help to keep the vermin away if you keep the soil moist.

I've done it in a container newly placed this year right in the path of oncoming & outgoing cats between here & next door. They don't even bother trying to go via the table it's on any more ... just take a flying leap from ground to wall. -- Judy http://members.lycos.co.uk/bluelotusrising/index.html http://www.rigbys.demon.co.uk |

I don't know if anyone's suggested this idea before - but it occurs to me that cats prefer to crap in something comfortable, rather than the scrotty stuff we shove out plants into. Would they not find a trough of dry sand more appealing? If the cats aren't yours, and depending on your relationship with the owner, it might even be possible to site the kitty-loo in the owner's garden. A simple roof could be attached to keep the sand dry. Should you have to site the kitty-loo in your own garden, and assuming you know who owns the culprit moggy, you could always dig out the crap and return it to them, in a little bag. I'm sure they'd be only too happy to arrange disposal of their pet's faeces.

If you have a small contained garden like mine, then an electronic cat scarer works a treat. I have installed one and haven't seen any sign of a cat for a month now. My garden is small, surrounded by a wooden fence and when I say samll, I'm talking about 4 metres by 6 metres. Maybe not so effective in a large garden? - Peter James Change AT to @ to reply |

L Likely to kick them out the way. I just stick canes in the ground, that works fine. |
