Well, get yourself a Steyr LG110 FT air rifle (look it up on the net) with a Leupold Air Rifle scope (also research on the net), a healthy amount of ammo some sandwiches and a video camera (for visual legacy). Then start poppin' *******. IT won't kill 'em, but they will soon get the message. And you can then appreciate a doody-free lawn.
You will at the same time sharpen your critter sniper skills, to boot.

Yes, you are reading correctly. MOTH BALLS. Amazingly, the cats and squirrels hate the smell of them and just a few place around the garden bed/lawns is enough to keep the pesky creatures from digging.
When it comes to the cats, well, blame the humans attached to them. These are the variety of lazy humans who don't like the responsibility of cleaning litter boxes.
To be extra vigilant, on non-rainy days you can sprinkle cayene pepper about 10 inches wide on the perimeter of your garden and lawns. This will keep all sniffing creature far away.

I had a similar problem with my small pond..the local cats viewed my goldfish as hor d'oerves! I found a product online that contains powdered fox and cyote urine. At first I couldn't believe it but apparently they are natural predators. Sprinkled around the pond and even with rain it lasts about 3 months..no cats! Fish still going strong..best part is it's organic.

There are quite a number of scented plants on the market now that are quite affective at keeping critters and insects at bay . Just ask at your local garden nursery and they will point you in the right direction .

Getting a dog will take care of this problem. But poop is good for the lawn. A natural fertilizer.

If they're not your cats, it should not be up to you to clean up after them.
Scoop up the poop, put it in a plastic bag, and hand it to the neighbors who let their cats roam. If that doesn't get them to be responsible pet owners, file a complaint against them for allowing a pet to be a public nuisance.
Nobody needs to put up with this sh**. Literally.

you can buy a spray that dogs and cats don't like the smell of and it only costs about $15. Good Luck

You can get this stuff called Critter Ridder at a hardware store. It is grainy and has a peppery smell to it. You spread it around the circumfrence of your yard and they shouldn't come into your yard.

I had heard the crumpled chicken wire, placed just beneath an inch or two or soil, will end this kitty mess..
perhaps any wiring might do.. hardware cloth, flat chicken wire..
When they scratch to cover, their claws get caught in the wire - not hurting them - just making clean up a bit of a struggle..

Moth balls. Yes I am being serious use moth balls. also put it in your flower areas this will prevent them from digging and pooping there. In the yard you can grind them and sprinkle it in your yard and they will stay away. Your house will smell like a moth ball for the first day but it does go away by the second day.
