"The earlier you break the habit, the better. They are territorial and dislike and are deterred by a number of things - scents are a good deterrent, as well as disrupting their habit, however you can. Find their route and make it impossible to keep using it. Barriers, or something unpleasant to them. Add strong smells onto anything they'd walk over. Remove their waste, as it will retain their scent. Clean it away, using water, to reduce any remnants of smell. Barriers could be anything they'll not be able to go through. Add barriers onto the ground they use for the toilet - use thorny bush cut-offs: anything like blackberry stems, rose briars etc. They won't want to walk on it or scratch in it, to go to the loo. If they're walking on fences, something greasy will be unpleasant. Coleus canina is a tender plant, good for summer, which has a smell that usually deters them. You could use unpleasant smells, from sources that are totally safe for all wildlife and pets: check around your cupboards for stuff that you know smells, read labels for safety. With enough prickly twigs cut into smaller pieces, laid over ground, stuck up etc, then it will make your soil either inaccessible or very unattractive to want to use it. Beware of any cut pieces of stems rooting in the soil and you gaining an invasion of thorny plants that you don't need! There are sound emitters, triggered on movement, that deter animals - obviously more expensive still. Similarly, there are motion triggered automatic watering systems, that will deter too: usually even more expensive." Thank you, I'll try some of these | |||

"then try planting citrus plants or lavender in your own garden.. it's not difficult "I have a lemon tree, lots of fruit on it atm. Next doors cat arrived just after midnight - he'd evaded capture, whilst they were up. He brushed against it, there was no deterrent from the plant. Though cats hate most smells that are strong: experiment around the garden, with small amounts of SAFE smelly stuff. | |||

Concrete everything over and grease anywhere a bird could sit. With the food source removed the cats have no reason to come into your garden hunting | |||

Catch the cats and drop them off in the Scottish highlands "Many years ago I was working on a RAF base doing work on the houses. I had my van parked up with doors open. At the end of the day I loaded my tools back in and shut the doors. Drive off, a few miles up the road I could hear a right racket in the van. Luckily I hadn't joined the motorway and there was a large layby. I pulled in and opened the side door and a cat launched it's at me and promptly ran off (thankfully) into a large Field rather than into the road. But disappeared into the distance away from home. Leaving shit and piss all over my tool's. I tried to find out who owned it next day but no luck. Needless to say that is one kitty that won't be climbing into the back of an open van quickly again. I always check my van before shutting doors. Also under the bonnet in the winter they like to climb into the engine bay. | |||
