How to stop neighbours cats?

[acme]

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

MODS - apologies if this is in the wrong section

If you push frozen sausages into your lawn this seems to deter cats. Not sure how, though.

Give the cats red bull, hammer frozen sausages up the neighbour's dog's bum, fk the lawn.

Pepper? Supersoaker? Claymore mine? One of them should work.

Lots of bare wire spread around the garden and some voltage

Get a cat of your own. It will protect its territory and crap in other people's gardens!

Citronella spray should work, it's more commonly used as a bug repellent but cats hate the scent of it too.

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.

I have the same problem. They use the flower bed next to our front door for a st.

I put down some cat scarer dust and that smelt worse than the st. Came out the next morning to find two huge steaming piles of turd.

Going to relocate a holly bush and invest in an BB gun!

I say take off and nuke the entire site from orbit....it's the only way to be sure.

Put up a sign.

Have you tried pissing into the wind?

I doubt it will work though.

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 heard someone selling lion st to put around your garden - the idea being that they don't want to go into the territory of a much bigger cat

Love and "pet" the cats. Use reverse psychology.

I had a friend who had cats poisoned into a bad case of deadness with antifreeze.


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

I bet you have a problem with rats as well? A good trick is to tempt the rats to take the bait by mixing it in some cat meat.
I hate vermin on my garden as well.
