Mothballs from Wilkinsons will keep them away put a box around garden and change them every 3 weeks well it worked for me anyway, powder never worked but once i put mothballs down they never came back maybe it was for other reason but i'll never know and the mothballs are cheap so it wont break the bank for you to try them.

For about 30 quid you get a main electricity ultrasound unit. Guaranteed to get rid of cats and no batteries required
just dont leave anti freeze around...they kill cats that pooh in your garden |

Honestly if anyone started shooting pellets at my cat I'd have them arrested!!! Or stick their pellet gun up their arse!! I think either you are a troll or just a very ignorant person. There a plenty of cheap methods you can try and I'd sooner you went down the spraying them with water route than actually shooting pellets at them!! Quote:

Don't have any freshly dug over earth on display, cats cannot resist it. My neighbour had a problem with my cat and a couple of others all traipsing through his garden and leaving calling cards, so I bought him one of those sound gun thingies. That worked well he told me, until he broke it
![]() They then invested in a couple of those movement sensitive ones and the cats all got the message

I've been having a lot of success with putting curry powder down. I think the last little 'present' I discovered was last summer. I just picked it up, then poured curry powder on the patch where it had been, and we haven't had any deposits since...

OP - how do you know it's cat's pooh?
It's a well known fact that cat's bury their pooh's (I sometimes have to have a proper dig about in my one's litter tray as she's hidden it!!) It could be foxes?? Although don't tell me - you've actually seen the cat/s doing it??? |

You have Got to be kidding?? You realise you can be arrested for animal cruelty. If I ever saw anyone even raising a finger to my cat I would go beserk, and I agree with the above post, shove your pellet gun where the sun dont shine!!

there's a cat that comes and visits my garden everyday in the morning, drives my dog barmy. I don't want to let him out with the cat cause he's very fact and will most likely bite the thing. so off to shop for some moth balls i think.

There didn't seem to have been any attempt to bury it either. |

My 'kitten' doesn't bury his, though we have a big garden, and he doesn't venture beyond it. I think the burying is a myth, most cats might do, but not all. Mind you, in Leo's case he'd be wanting a JCB, I'd be flippin proud of some of the ones he does!

I have tried loads of things and it has cost me a small fortune! I have a good mind to send the bills to all the bloody cat owners! The latest thing I have been using is vinegar sprayed all over the place! lol It is only 13p a bottle from Tesco but if this does not work I will buy those spiky things you can put along the top of your fence to stop cats and also burglars I guess? They also walk all over my bloody clean car the little buggers! (Cats not burglars)

Very slightly o/t. Next door's long haired cat gets into my back bedroom through the quarterlight and sleeps on the bed there.
Now this bed belongs to my severely asthmatic and allergic son. I have spoken to the owner who says it is cruel to keep the cat in, to which I replied if it comes into my house then it doesn't want to be out!!!!! I have suggested she keeps it in until lunchtime, thereby allowing me to air the bedroom with the window open, then I close the window and she lets the cat out. She won't contemplate the idea. I have been to casualty twice this year with my son as a direct result of an asthmatic attack brought on by this cat. I do check the room and chase it out often, and then have to wash the sheets, vacuum the bed, open ALL of the windows to get the dander out. Short of moving, what can I do? |

Have got a net curtain. The cat just goes underneath it. Have tried orange peel to no avail. Because of the asthma we have to be very careful with smelly 'products'. It has been suggested we nail a type of mosquito net over the window but that will ruin the UPVC surrounds.
We are going to have to do that but I'm just really cross the neighbour can't accept this is serious and I have suggested a compromise so don't think I am being completely unreasonable. But we are very noisy when leaving for the hospital in the middle of the night..........

Dunno how big the window is.
