Go to your local pet store and you'll be able to find some products to solve your problem. They're safe and non-toxic.

You can put rose cuttings around the beds surrounding the lawns, this works if the cat is timid. A wild cat will not be detered.
I've tried several makes of electronic deterants and not found any of them to work, it seems Minty has had better success. Although there is nothing to say the cat didn't move away by luck !

None of the so-called deterrents seem to work. Some may do for a while and then,unfortunately, the cats get used to them. Spraying them with a hosepipe is a good idea but you're not always there when the cat shows up. I would like to able to spray them with some obnoxious substance that will stink to high heaven when the cat is sitting around its own fireside. Any ideas?

If you can rig up a bright light to activate on their movement. Cats hate being seen, especially when relieving themselves, it exposes them at a very awkward moment, they prefer to be incognito and prowl unnoticed. You watch their ears go back and they will lower their head in shame at being caught, bad for their street cred. They might come back once or twice but soon get the message, and go somewhere else,. they are creatures of habit and usually make their toilet anywhere, other than their own den area. i.e. their home garden. especially where there is loose soil,

Lion poo from any zoo, my aunt uses it on her garden, it make the little cats stay away as they smell a bigger cat. It is easy to get if your on a list for some, and got to say it is not cheap but it does work very well.

Apparently Oil of Citronella is supposed to work or you could try the old filling an empty bottle with water which is supposed to scare them with their own reflection
