Without using a fence. I'd like a permanent fail safe solution.

Please do not use hot pepper or chili powder. The cats could rub it in their eyes. Cocoa mulch helps.

I am using a product called critter ridder (granduals) which is pepper based. I just began application. I can leave you follow up- I have a stray that pees and poop right in the middle of the yard/ its crazy/...
PS- U should also know that Cats are creatures of habit. I think they can read clocks... so if you can identify what time the cat shows up you may be able to chase him with the garden hose... after once or twice he (or she) will associate the location with you and the hose and not bother pooping there.

No solution is going to be permanent! Although some people don't recommend cayenne pepper (ground crushed red pepper), it's what I use to keep my 9 cats from using flowerbeds for a litterbox.
No, my cats don't wander the neighborhood. I built a fenced, roofed addition to the backyard so they can go outside without actually getting out into the neighbors' yards. See my cattery at http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa31/julytate/HPIM2076.jpg.

The citrus idea seems to work. I had a cat that walked in front of an outdoor motion sensor in the very early morning, and set off an alarm in the house. From advice I got, I ground up peel from a lemon and mixed it with coffee grounds. Cat hasn't been back since.

* Chicken wire. Cut it to shape around plants on the ground (not as a fence). They don't like walking on nor pawing the wire. This worked the best for me.
* You can try spraying a cheap vegetable oil around ground. This 'oil' would have to be resprayed once a month or after each hard rain. The oil is not deterant to all cats but also a deterant around house base from crawly insects.

Cats don't like citrus-smelling things. You can get repellant granules at better garden centers that have a citrus base. You sprinkle the stuff wherever you don't want the cats to go. They won't even walk on it, because they think it makes their feet stink.
