my house is the one on the end of the road so ive been cursed with the biggest garden and so all the cat from 2 doors down decides to use it as a toilet. Ive tried scaring it a few times but the little git comes back to take revenge when im at work!
not only is it annoying but ive stood in it atleast once... :gag:
time to take action - anybody got any ideas that will work? the gardens quite big so i need something that i can use both front and back lawns

My sis has recently gotten a motion sensitive sonic scaring device and she thinks it seems to be working.
Tis really annoying though as I can hear the high pitch squealing noise every time I walk past it. I can hear those Mosqitoes that they put on shop windows too, I thought you were only meant to hear them as a teenager!

Quite likely though Id imagine only if its outside? You wont know unless you try!
Other alternatives are I think there are some bark chips or topsoil that have cocoa or chilli oil in them which is meant to deter things from taking a dump in your garden. Theres also a few plants that supposedly smell bad for cats, but my grandmother got one and after a few days she saw a cat come up and sniff it and carry on going so I dont think those work that well.
I think there are also motion sensitive sprinkler systems meant to soak the buggers when it detects them, but Im guessing they may be a bit expensive and youd need to remember to turn them off before venturing into the garden...

I understand exactly your torment.
When we moved into our new terrace house, it had been left vacant for many months and the local cats had decided our garden was a perfect latrine. In the space of one week I identified 6 different cats in our garden!
Every morning I would find a couple of piles, and then a few more in the evening, left uncleaned for more than a couple days and the garden was unpassable.
The solutions and their effectiveness:
[size=18]Anything smelly that deters cats, only lasts as long as it gives off a smell.[/size]
We tried a checmical spray from B&Q - This was applied to the fence to stop them entering the garden. It wore off and they came back.
Lemon (Citrus) peel is ok, but only protects the areas its applied to and the first rain will destroy its effectiveness.
Didnt bother with Lion Pooh, I did consider it but we had so many cats invading that it would only need one cat to return and the rest would follow.
Sounds:
Motion sensor ultra sonic alarms, havent tested them becuase I can hear them and dont want to be evicted from my garden. Plus we have guinea pigs in a hutch, this would be torture for them or other pets. You can alter their range so they dont intrude on neighbours gardens.
Leaving a Radio on near an open window had no effect.
Shouting - Good for relieving stress, very effective but only lasts until you leave the garden.
Water:
Motion sensors tied into a hosepipe. Sounds great, my recommended solution if you dont have a dog.
Water Pistols - See Weapons Section
Visual distraction
Place CDs in a string on a stick in the grass and watch the cats freak when they move in the wind. Well thats the theory, cant hurt to try if you have a few CDs or something shiny like tin-foil.
Motion Sensor activated MEGA CANDLE POWER TORCH or Light. Setup a sensative home protection system that illuminates the garden in enough candle power to melt a bar of lead.
Obstacles
You can get anti climb strips which attach to the top of your fence, the hard plastic spikes should put off cats (and people) from climbing over the fence, thus protecting your garden from Pooh laden cats!
http://www.insight-security.com/per-prickler.htm
An extra line of defence (you get the idea this is a battle!) is to put sharp sticks on the ground in the area the cats fequently use. I used clippings from our rose bushes to protect the lawn, but any spiney bush or shrub should provide suitable material - It definately works, cats dont want to take a sqaut and get a spike up their butt. In my case, they just used a different area of lawn.
Make sure any loose panels or holes in your fence are secured, and the only access into your garden is over the fence. This will help discourage the lazy animals who cant/wont jump a 6 Fence.
Weapons
Mouse traps, on the frequently used areas or places of travel.
Airrifle - Nuff said - But dont tell them I told you!
WaterPistol or hose - Tricky one this, by the time you see a cat, find your pistol, exit the propety, aim and fire. The cat has probably scarpered. If youre lucky enough to soak a moggy they wont forget, but may get more cautious next time so dont just use a Water pistol try some of the other suggestions too.
Stones, or other missles - Easy? Maybe, but not much long term effect.
We ended up adopting an old dog from a relative who had a house fire and downsized. The dog now craps on the lawn, after a couple months we didnt have get any more Cat invaders! but Im stilling clearing crap off the lawn :gag:
If you dont want a dog, I would suggest a combination of the ideas listed, just make your garden as generally dangerous and unpleseant as possible for the cats, so they decide to choose a less harzardous waste deposit site. Maybe Spike strips, chemical spray, some orange peel, shiney CD and some thorny sticks. If that doesnt work add a motion sensor water spray.
Good luck. 8-)

spend months designing, building and deploying a skynet style automatic deffence system with robust target recognition and linking it to a battery of self re-loading super-soakers.
it might or might not work, but Id pay good money to see it and building it would take your mind off the condition of the lawn.

Someones got an infra red system that turns on the water sprinklers when a cat comes into view, supposedly quite effective although you have to turn it off before you go on it.

Ive been thinking about this and there are some sensible options:
1) M18A1 Claymore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDqaeMGMAWk)
Pros: 100% poop reduction
Cons: Noise, collateral damage
2) VelociRobot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScaHwzJg1O8&)
Pros: Cool as f**k
Cons: Would need modifying with some kind of automatic motion-tracking ninja star throwing mechanism.
3) M107 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaIWJfqDkwY&feature=fvw)
Pros: Can stop cats in APCs
Cons: Possibly illegal in this country?

i must say im liking something which wont get me in trouble with the neighbours but is funny to watch when the critters get caught. I have decided to set a budget of £100 aside for such a task - please keep coming up with ideas..
my dads got some stuff called "scoot" but its far too boring solution -)
the hose pipe option would work and has in the past but its like the damn cat knows when im not there so it does it business when im out. this ones a trickey critter!
