An air rifle can cure a multitude of problems.

Mmm, that* hasn't worked in a situation that I'm aware of. I went round yesterday to cut the lawn for someone after she's been away for a week and the back lawn has more than a dozen donations on it.

It's been going on for a couple of years and she's looking forward to the winter, so that she doesn't have to go out surveying every time that her grandson wants to play outside....

* Nothing else has worked, either. It all looks like it's from the same cat.

Have you tried Ground Pepper or Chilli? They're both'supposed' to work...

She's tried every* rumoured solution that I'm aware of - to absolutely no effect.





* Apart from my offer to let her borrow my air rifle....

A few grams of lead delivered at high velocity seldom fails.

Eucalyptus oil, on used tea bags, is supposed to work

I'm sure they sell some sort of cat repelent in pets at home might be worth a try.

Get a dog. Or better still, get three. I never have any problems with cat mess with three dogs.

how do you keep the dog mess problem under control?

I really don't understand folk that don't provide basic and fundamental requirements such as a litter tray for their pets & let their animals out to poop on other people's property.
I could rant on for ages about it but I think it's cruel to the animal - imagine needing to go and having to wait for someone to open the door and then furtively having find somewhere to quickly do your business. I'm fed up of people saying that their cat in clean : it doesn't 'go' in the house - where on earth do they think it is going to wee & poop! (Probably not thinking cause they don't have to deal with it) and then wondering why their neighbours don't speak to them.

pet owning should be licenced and if the owner can't or won't facilitate to ALL the needs that the animal requires (especially at both ends) then they shouldn't have one

Interesting point. I provide a litter tray but know Molly cat doesn't use it all the time. So would I have my licence removed?

It gets picked up... How else would you expect it to be kept under control?

@proactive My three would need stepladders to be able to do that.

I've tried orange peel and chilli powder in the past, but the cats just went elsewhere in the garden instead! Although since the new cat next door has moved in, he has claimed our garden as his as well, so the other cats haven't been in since he's been on guard (He only goes in his own litter tray, so since he's been around the back garden has stayed poo free )
