  • Having neighbourhood cats poo in your garden can be a big disgusting problem especially when you have little kids or are growing vegetables in your garden. It can also be a big health risk.
    After trying several home remedies like essential oil sprays, garlic lemon peels in the garden, coffee and even tea bags, nothing worked. Eventually I have had to devise a solution once and for all and it seems it is working well.

    Outdoor cats can be such a pain in the butt. This is a great idea to keep your kitties happy with being outside and keep them from pooping in your garden at the same time.

    When you find the poop in your garden, relocate it to a hole off of your property, the reason they are coming back is because they still smell it. If you redeposit that poop to another area, problem solved.
    As well, there is a great plant called scaredy cat. You can buy it and spread the leaves and even plant a few in your garden. The other methods your are doing are great as well. But the scaredy cat plant, putting down rose thorns where you have fresh soil. But putting the cat poop in your garbage can it's attracting then most likely.
    The wire mesh night help, but not as much as the scaredy cat plant and relocating there poop into another area.

      @MOLLYNNCARES  7 місяців тому

      These are very good tips, thanks alot. I never thought about relocating the poop. I have actually been putting it in the trash which is in my garden shed!
      The wire mesh worked only for a while and then they started climbing over!

    It is very normal for a cat to poop in everyones garden exept his own. The owner of the cat has to keep his cat in his house. If he wants the cat outside he has to make sure that the cat stays in the garden.

      I wish they could do that and keep the cats in their garden

    I have problems with stray cats. I put out cayenne pepper or spray liquid garlic to deter them. Also, I use landscape fabric in my garden. I will be watching. Also, then end was hilarious. Thank you.

    Very clever!! It’s ridiculous what lengths we have to go to in order to stop something that literally.. ain’t somewhere for these furry friends to litter up. But you gotta do what you gotta do 😂

    Who would’ve thought to use the straps to hold the wire, I hope the cats don’t jump down from atop the fence, you did a good job with the wire barrier. It’s amazing the cat was trying to come through right there on camera happy it worked lol

    If people would spay/ neuter their pets we wouldn’t have this problem yes it’s a problem my neighbor has 6 cats that have impregnated the whole cat family and just a week ago I hear a litter of another clan geeze. Also I don’t think we should have to pay to secure other peoples animals if I wanted animals I’d have my own. I’d just pick it all up and hand or leave it on the door step.

      The problem is there are many neighbourhood cats that it would be hard to know whose cat is in your garden😄

    @alishab111 11 місяців тому +1

    I think if you put that same mesh on top of your soil and get garden staples to hold it down, that will help. And cut to size to fit around your vegetables.

    I'm currently having an issue with a couple cats next door. It looks like you used lemon peel; it didn't work? I seek a permanent solution; cats continue to do business in our flowerbeds and backyards :(

    Did the cats try coming back or climbing over the fence after not being able to get under the bottom?

    • @MOLLYNNCARES
      @MOLLYNNCARES  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes eventually they started climbing. I found another solution that has kept them away for good. Will upload an update it this month as soon as I can edit it

    I would have had the neighbor clean all that crap up initially, and shame on them for having outdoor cats, especially as kittens. What a foolish cat owner. I'm sorry you had to deal with this!

    • @MOLLYNNCARES

      3 of our neighbours leave their cats to roam and make a mess. Later I got an electronic cat chaser and that has sorted it. They now avoid my yard at all costs

    I have been spreading blood meal all around. I also hear that they can't stand the smell of coleus. Maybe add a few to your garden.

    Hey cat, "Do you want to play football?" Your the ball!
    Call Dirty Harry and he'll make your day.
    Short of this, go to a farm supply and buy an electric fence to string up around you gardens.
    Good Luck!

      @@MOLLYNNCARES I got an excellent solution. Once I found ASDA selling almost 50 wooden BBQ sticks pointed on both ends with only 30 pens. Bought several packets. Then stick those on the ground Half way where it popped before and all around my vegetable garden. Since then NO POO. Because if she come to Poo again, there will be a sharp stock on her BUM BUM 👍😁

    Small cats can crawl through that fence. You need rabbit wire or chicken wire.
