How do I keep the neighborhood cats from using my lawn and gardens as a litter box?

Answer 1

Sprinkle cayenne pepper wherever you don't want them. Whether it's around the perimeter of your property or just your gardens. Make sure if you do this and it happens to rain, put more down until the cats don't come around aymore. I had the same problem at my old house and now I see I have to do it here at my new house also! Good luck, I know there's nothing more frustrating then working in your gardens and running across what they leave behind!!

There isn't really much u can do unless u r willing to hurt them.I would have to say call the humanes society or animal control n they can set up traps for them n u call them when 1 has been caught n they will pick them up.Well I'm not sure where u r n if they do this everywhere but I'm in Toronto ontario n they do it here when there is problems with to many cats n some places make u bring the animal to them.I would at least call animal control n find out your options through them n see what they can do to help.If they don't then buy a trap yourself and set it up n catch them n bring them in yourself.My aunt does that but gets the animals fixed and keeps them .She has rescued 13 cats now and there r none left in her neighbourhood.It's amazing to see how a scared kitty goes and ends up being so lovable when someone cares for them.I know u prob don't care for them so just catch them n take them in or they will just keep on breeding and it will get worse.Good luck n I hope this works for u or someone helps u.Ciao 4 now and have a wonderful wkend.

There are some diverse products obtainable which will repel the cats out of your reseeded backyard. one in all them works off of your backyard hose (which may bypass precise along with your new backyard), even as an animal walks into the realm of the sensor, it shoots out a move of water. it is going to easily take some tries and those cats will study a thanks to stay away. there is yet another product that works off of extremely sonic noise that the cats can listen and people won't be able to. It also has a sensor which detects action that turns it on for some seconds, sufficient to annoy the cats into leaving. Then there are also liquid spray repellents; although for the tremendous area you're managing, this would not be useful. good luck with the backyard!

Answer 5

I had the same problem with neighbors' cats getting in our flower box. We simply sprinkled cayenne pepper around all the plants and that keeps them from sniffing and scratching around looking for a place to go to the bathroom.
One round of it and they pretty much steer clear. It doesn't harm the cats but it's a real eye opener for them the next time they come a callin'.

Answer 6

Unless you have Animal Control Officers living in your lawn and garden, you can't. You could attempt to sue the felines' owners but it would be a financial undertaking not really worth your time. Though I suppose you could try to put a cage or net around your garden...that's all I got.

Answer 9

There is a small devise that emits a very high pitched tone, so high pitched that only cats, dogs and birds can hear it..
It will keep all of those pesky cats away and not harm your garden or the environment.

Answer 10

The "Green" alternative is to put orange peels in the areas they usually use and around any plants. Cats don't seem to like orange peel and it keeps them from digging holes and using your garden as a toilet.
