My next doors neighbors cats keep pooing in my front garden. Was told as it was the grass was to long so i mowed the lawn and hey presto cat poo the next morning.
I have tried a spray that B&Q do but you have to keep spraying every 12-13 days and too be really hones i dont think it works in the 0-11 days in the 1st place as i still see poo.
Have looked at sonars but not sure about the distance they reach and i dont want the sonar stopping them from reaching their home !
I use clear plastic bottles filled with water, and place them around the flower beds....has done the trick for me.
Used to have a neighbours cat come in and leave its mess in the beds but no more. Not sure how it works, but was told that the cat see's it's relection in the bottle or something like that.
We never have cats venture into our garden anymore.

I'm having a problem with a cat. At least I assume it's a cat since I've never actually seen it. The cat uses my yard and garden as its toilet. This, by itself is not a serious matter; I clean detritus out of my yard regularly as a matter of course. The real problem is that my young children, who love to play in the yard and putter in the garden, always run afoul of the cat's mess if I haven't cleaned it up first. So, every morning I must police my yard and garden for signs of the cat's nightly visit and clean up after it. Oftentimes, I must be away from home on business and there is no one to perform this duty. So my kids stay inside or go outside and get fouled.
Recently, I've been considering a solution to this problem. A permanent solution. I'm not a cat hater. I've had and enjoyed several cats as pets. I don't wish upon this cat any painful punishment or cruel revenge. I don't know whose cat it is, whether it even has a home and is loved or is left to its own devices. I simply want it to disappear and can certainly arrange it. I was raised in a semi-rural environment where we had livestock, which we even played with and petted, but which also eventually were slaughtered and eaten. Killing animals that we had raised seemed perfectly natural and was the practical conclusion to the endeavor. When our pet dogs or cats were seriously ill, grievously injured or simply became too numerous, we shed our tears and then sent them to their reward without the services of a veterinarian or animal shelter. This solution to my cat problem seems perfectly reasonable to me, akin to the fate dealt to gophers, rats and other living nuisances. On the other hand, I realize a cat's difference; people increasingly put great store in their pets, considering them to be family members in every regard. What I consider to be a reasonable solution will surely be considered an immoral crime by others.
I've tried many other alternatives. There are pages and pages of recommendations on using this type of fruit peel or that type of noxious repellent, many that are little better than the mess left by the cat, and none of which has had any effect. There are even sophisticated fences and motion-activated sprinklers that I can't bring myself to consider due to the time and cost alone. I might even attempt to find the owners, confront them with the problem and ask them to find some solution, under the assumption that they bear primary responsibility for managing the waste of their own pets, not me. I imagine, though, that what is so hateful to me is considered unavoidable and uncontrollable cat nature to the owner, who would thereafter brand me as a cat-hating lunatic.
With my solution, no one need be the wiser. Only I would know what really happened and personally I am comfortable with the proceedings. The owners certainly would be sad to lose their pet, and I would regret that, but it would be a mystery as far as they were concerned, just as if the cat were hit by a car, fell from a tree or ate some poisonous plant; all risks that they currently tolerate anyway to indulge the nature of their free-ranging cat. It doesn't seem that bad to me. Expressing that feeling to others, however, generates expressions of shock and horror, and a certainty in the mind of the hearer that I am some kind of sadistic psychopath. I'm not sadistic about it at all. It all sounds quite reasonable to me. I don't feel like a psychopath. So the question is, first, am I a psychopath? Secondly, what do I do about the cat?
Some solutions here

We are talking poo here arent we?? This cat isnt killing your children or taking your dog hostage or anything right??
How about a little perspective and as the last guy said just chill a bit!
They kids could end up blind though if the cat has worms and I think that Toxoplasmosis is a risk to young children plus why should he have to clean up after somebody else's cat? I'm a bit of a cat hater myself for the reasons mentioned but even so you can't just kill somebody's pet.

I wonder how many kids a year go blind from this...... Must be a stat somewhere surely!
Cats usually bury their business anyway so how much cleaning up is really involved?
So you hate cats because they crap in gardens, sweet!
