How to stop neighbours cats?
Discussion
Appreciate this will probably get some amusing responses (gladly accepted), but has anyone found a decent way of persuading neighbours cats not to come into your garden?
New neighbours have two cats, I'd previously stopped the local cat population from coming into my garden but so far this year they constantly use my garden as a toilet, have destoyed a veg patch & inevitably all the hard work that goes with it & the final straw is the scratches on the car.
I've got a 'cat scarer' (ultrasonic) but this seems to make no difference.
I appreciate there's probably little you can do but if anyone has any other suggestions it'd be good to try them - I've tried vinegar/lemon juice & just about everything else suggested all to no avail.....
Cheers

Hosepipe.
Cats aren't thick, but they do hate water. Especially water delivered at pressure, directly onto them.
A few good dousings and any moderately bright feline will learn to look at your garden, think "bugger this for a game of soldiers", and find someone else's garden to trash.
Failing that, an RPG should do it.

Dogs only work when you wind them up chanting 'cat, cat, cat, etc then open the door. Works well but you have to had spotted the cat. Same goes for rifles.
Tasty bowl of antifreeze on the other hand ;-)

- waits for the pest lovers to go wild*, seriously though I hate cats stting on my lettuce, if I could find who the owners were I'd try and get to dogs to dump on their drive way.

I had a friend who had cats poisoned into a bad case of deadness with antifreeze. Tasty bowl of antifreeze on the other hand ;-)

However, I am not going to go wild, as it seems to be effort.
