Cat poo

I know they've got to do it somewhere but how do I stop neighbours cats from doing it in my garden? Got ds1 and ds2 to think about. Trod it in the house the other day and it made me retch. Am fed up. (Nice)neighbours say "They don't do it in our garden." They don't blumming need to do they??? Any advice welcome. Don't want it to escalate.

we have granules from B&Q that are meant to deter them

don't work very well though [grrr]

You can buy dried Tiger/Lion poo pellets from Garden Centres.
You scatter this on your garden and the moggies assume there's a bigger cat around and avoid!
Don't know if it works or not, though.
I've also heard that orange peel scattered around keeps them off, but never tried it

orange peel is supposed to be good

I've used some green jelly-like pellets from a hardware shop - called something like "get off my garden". They seemed to work.

bag up and chuck back in to neighbours garden!

Yay Kimi! That's the good thing about cats, they don't shit on their own doorstep, so to speak, unlike dogs, mine included, who dump all over the garden leaving us devoted owners to shovel it up. God love 'em.

I heard that digging pepper into the soil helps to deter them.
