my neightbors cat keep littering on the back and frontyard lawn how can i prevent that?

Question

is there something that i can put on the grass to prevent him from doing it everyday.

Answer 1

Mothballs, they do work, have the same problem.

Answer 2

I suggest putting a litter box with its special sand in it and have the cat use it .. later on move the litter box with time, every 4 to 7 days, part by part to where the owner lives .. this way the cat will not use your garden or back-yard for its disposals.

Answer 3

As a cat owner I decided to see what cats can't stand... any citrus fruit peels, you can grate them and sprinkle then around, also Cayenne pepper. Maybe mix them both and sprinkle them around! I saw a sprinkler that is motion activated, it turns on once a cat crosses a certain point! I hear they work great! Best part they'll also keep those nosy neigbors out of the yard too!

Hi Jorge...Common odours that are effective deterrents for cats are:

Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.

"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.

Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.

For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.

Answer 5

Not sure of what you can put on the grass, but you might want to heave the cat's litter back into the neighbors yard. Hopefully they'll get the hint.

Answer 6

you mean like coffee cups and McDonald's bags?
that's one rude cat.

i had the same problem with a raccoon, few years back, strewing debris all over my yard. i borrowed a Hav-a-hart trap from my dad. set the bait and caught him. kept him for several days, questioned him under severe conditions, and actually though about measures involving torture to find out what he knew, who he was working with. this was back in the Clinton days, which we all know prohibited profiling and any semblance of torture, even after we determined he was an illegal immigrant raccoon. i decided against torture, since it was a registered Democrat illegal immigrant raccoon. i could not handle the Johnny Cochran attention, if you know what i mean.

i finally had to release him because we had no legal authority to keep him. that is one terrorist raccoon that will never bother my trash barrels again, God willing.

attempt to make certain even if ir's a stray or owned with the help of a neighbor. If it truly is owned with the help of a neighbor, enable them know. If that's a stray, contact the community animal preserve! We were given one of our cats because she saved coming round, we knew who she belonged to and heard the youngsters pulled her round, so did not cease her coming in, and finally they moved away with out her and with no be conscious to us so i do not imagine they cared. we've 2 cats in spite of the reality that, and a random cat coming in may be sporting worms or diseases if it hasn't had their images, and obviously we are procuring the cat nutrients now.

Answer 8

Frankly, no. Cats will go where they want to go. They have an "I own the world" complex. You may want to talk to the cat's owners and ask if they have any training methods you can use. They may not be upset if you just yell at the cat to get it out of the yard. You can also ask them if they would be willing to clean it up...

Please, oh please, do not make them get rid of their cat. I hate people who do that. Besides, it's fertilizer. :-)

Answer 9

aside from the fact that your neighbor is lowering the lifespan of his cat by letting it outdoors there are a few things you can try:
1. try sprinkling your lawn with grated orange,lime or lemon peels-cats don't like citrusy things.
2. sprinkle garlic--another odor cats don't like

Answer 10

not sure about the mothballs. may work. can you catch him at it and hit it with the garden hose? a few times at that and you'd never see him again. I like the dog idea and the 308 doesn't sopund bad either. bad enough when your own animals do it.

Answer 11

sprinkle some moth bals on lawn and get a dog
