There are plenty of access routes for them, I can't block them all. Do any of the proprietry cat repellers work?

Essentially the cats have got in to a habit. Therefore you are looking to break this habit.
The suggestion for cut up lemons is quite good -I know cats can't stand the smell of citronella - so either candles or small bowls of this oil should do the trick. Once the cats get the idea they don't like being in your garden, you should find their frequency lessening and eventually they won't come near at all. (The citronella works brilliantly on keeping mossies away too)!

Easy, buy yourself a couple of mouse traps, bait them with cooked chicken skin (hard to pull off) and place at strategic points. Repeat if necessary, then place pieces of wood the same colour and size all over the garden, believe me they'll stay clear.
The type of mouse trap you need are the ones were you pull the snap bar back and hold it with a wire clip, when the bait is taken it releases the snap bar and that gives the cat a sharp crack on the nose. And no, it's not cruel so don't have a go at me.

Cat repellers do not work at all! I tried one once and my cat didn't even stay away from the area I put it on. Moth balls work really well but they kind of smell bad. If you like dogs I would say get one but they could ruin your garden also.

Cats don't really do much damage in a garden except to use the soft soil as a toilet. I have three cats and rarely even see the waste. I wonder why the bottles of water work. Does anyone know?

NO THIS IS NOT A JOKE you can buy lion droppings in pellet form from garden centres and that will keep the cats of and most dogs as well and it dose work just spreed them around the perimeter of your garden.

Not an easy thing to do but then again I love cats so its not a problem for me but since we have had neighbours with dogs our instance of feline trespass has diminished somewhat of late but that to me is not so good for I was just making friends with a very pretty little stray tabby cat that started coming into our garden for a bit of attention! I was hoping to adopt her but she keeps away now !

HUman hair repells them. I used to work at a salon and this old woman sweared by it. I have a cat rpoblem too. They keep pooing in my garden and then my dogs are trying to eat it. Yuck!

I dont know why this has worked for me but I put the cat poo back over the fence from where it comes and I think the cat might feel that its poo is better put somewhere else as it kind of uses it to mark a territory

I spoke with the neighbors and asked they control their animals and was laughed at. Apparently I should feel warm and happy that their cats would want to sh;t in my garden, climb over my car, or spray over my deck.
Raccoon trap was the only technique that worked for me. Problem solved.

There is a new product on the market, I cant remember the name of it, but it's basically big cat dung, you spread it around your garden and domestic cats hate it and scoot off.
