Best way to discourage cat from doing its business in my garden

m1xmag · 31 Oct 2013 at 13:16

You can buy a plant called Scaredy Cat which some people find is effective.

Go high tech like me.

Tried a few things like strong smelling garlic / chilli and lemon but the cat still came back. Went down to my local hardware store (its called the hardware store) and picked up an ultrasonic cat scarer. The little ****** hasn't been back

Occassionally i think its been back in and started to scrape (right in front the scarer of all places!) but the sound scares it before it does anything. The model I've got is battery powered but there is a mains power unit available for an additional cost.

EDIT

this is the one that ive got

Spread rumours locally that it is a paedo, your problem could soon be solved, narwadameen, say no more.

Please don't be an ultrasonic cat scarer. As far as I know, the frequency they output at is within the hearing range for most people with decent ears, so when a young person comes to your house, they will be scared away, ie your daughter.

Cats will do whatever they want, the more you try to dissuade it, the more fun it will seem to the cat.

You could also get a cat to guard your territory, about the only effective thing?

simple solution is to switch it off when his daughter is outside. the cat wouldn't go near my garden with me in it (when i switch mine off so i dont use up the batteries too much)

Don't do anything.

Just pick up every single little log it (or any other cats) might leave and deposit them through your neighbours letterbox.
Their property after all!

You can hear them inside too.

Human wee works too,

*can't believe I'm admitting to this*

I know it sounds stupid but when I was much younger, my dad used make us all go the loo in a bucket which he would then liberally spread around the garden, sure enough the problem cats would go and find another garden to defecate in.

I feel embarrassed on his behalf now....

Nerf guns or super soaker.

Take a dump in its litter box and show it you mean business.

I'm sorry, this thread seemed to be lacking sufficient GD-grade responses

something is wrong today...

34 posts in we have had get a bigger cat, or Tiger. Nobody has suggested a dog.

I was going to say oranges or lion muck but both have been suggested.

Cat owners are the epitome of irresponsibility and selfishness, they care so little about their pets that they allow them to become roadkill so I wouldn't expect them to do anything about this. The only effective way to keep vermin out of your garden is to employ painful methods like electric fencing/netting or use sharp surfacing in the garden.

Kick it, hard.

That or water, your call.

I bought a water sentry turret, damn thing was useless and I sent it back. Roll a tennis ball across the lawn and it would go off. Cat could just take a dump and the thing would do nothing.

I have had to net my vege patch completely. I had a 4 year battle with various Cat scents repellents. I have gravelled my borders and it finally stopped them. I have been cat free for quite a while.

Now someone in my street has got a new cat and this little **** just dumps on the middle of my front lawn and laughs at my cat pellets. I ****ing detest cats, even coming from a cat loving family. Gayest pet their is, for lazy ****s.

What I really need is a Aliens sentry turret.

If he doesn't want things crapping in his garden then a dog would be the worst suggestion in the topic yet.

I heard putting it in a bin works well.
