Keep neighbor cat off my garden

    Hi everyone

    Thank you for your helps.

    Please don’t suggest things I already say in the top message they didn’t work. Don’t waist time. No citric etc.

    I have having a issues with neighbours cat coming to poop in my garden. I plant some daffodil and twolips and some strawberries plants to get the harvest in autumn.


    I see the cat pop in the soil when I water the flowers and check the plants. 


    I saw my neighbour cat coming in and I see it with my own eyes pooing, spraying, and scratching the soil and scraping the branch of my small apples trees.

    Its not acceptable to me.

    Thankfully no fruit on the tree but when summer come and is fruit then spray and poo is toxic and the washing won’t help it.


    My daughter 6 years old likes do the garden and I’m afraid the poo will poison her. Neighbour won’t listen she don’t care. Cat is free and independent.


    I already try ultrasound, bottle of water spray gun, citric skins, lavender and pepper and nothing works. I also try vick for nose and doesn’t work.

    Sprinkler not going to be option. The house tap is at back of garden so I will get soaked when I use my owned garden. So I can’t even turn it on or off at my own pleasure.


    Please help me with suggestions. I hope this is the write category to post in.


    Thank you all. Good bless you.

    would you consider getting a dog, plus i don't think the cat poo will poison your six year old unless she eats it and the cat hasn't been wormed. Same as the dog, if it hasn't been wormed.

    No one home enough so cruel to dog.


    doesn’t matter about poo not poisons.

    If I want to pick my fruit I want to eat without knowing it is sprayed with piss from cat. Even if I wash still not hijean

    put netting over your fruit, simple, Green garden netting with bamboo poles, make a netting fence around and over your fruit, keep the moggy out, cheap and simple

    Have you any plans to avoid squirrel poop, fox poop, bird poop, rat urine and the other animal excrements that will be in your garden?

    Squirrel and bird is not toxic

    Fox and dog is harmful but much less than cat

    those poos are visible

    cat **** is hide in the soil so you get bad surprises

    Cut some brambles and put them down around where the cat likes to do their business. This will deter them from using that spot and they'll find somewhere new (hopefully not in your garden) and then you can remove the brambles

    Alternative option is to sprinkle chilli powder in the area where they like to go, you'll need to re-apply every day or two but after a while, the cat will avoid the area and you should be able to stop applying

    So why do you need specialist teams with hazmat suits to clean out attics/pigeon houses etc and anywhere else that birds have gathered? You should see my garden furniture after the crows and starlings have been hanging around.
