Has anybody got any good ideas how to stop cats from fouling in my garden? I've tried a few things but they keep coming back.

Try putting some eucalyptus oil on some used tea bas an spread these around your garden. Cats should hate the smell and keep away.

Would that work for my cat and the kitchen counter? She is a devil for jumping on it and my housemate cannot be impressed!!

It probably would - if you could stand the smell of eucalyptus oil yourself :)

I've heard a few tips in my time, but I'm not sure if they are effective:

1. Spread used coffee grounds in your flower beds. They supposedly discourage cats from fouling there and are good for the plants! Win-win

2. Spread orange peel and spray citrus oil around the edge of garden which is supposed to stop them venturing in.

3. I heard that if you can get lion poo from the zoo, cats will be too afraid to come anywhere near! I don't know how true that is!

Hope this helps!

i got a tip too. if your grooming your dog try doing it on the ironing board. that way your dog wont be able to get away and she/he wont be able to move much

Hi Ellen,

I had the same issue before but my issue was localised to one small area, I was able to get a product called Get Off spray, which basically stopped the cat doing his business on my lovely tree..
