Neighborhood cats shit right in the middle of my lawn. It stinks and the robot lawn mover makes it even worse.
I do NOT like cats, and this is not helping.
What works to keep them from shitting on my lawn?
The votes have spoken. Some people are cat lovers; thanks for the great advice from the rest of you! I will not go out of my way to accommodate other people’s pets that aren’t welcome on my property. My first weapon of choice will be chili because it’s simple and cheap. Other ideas have been noted.
My parents used to have this problem with dogs (our neighbors loved to let them shit everywhere but their own yard) and had a great amount of success with lining the perimeter of the property with moth balls.
Absolutely do not do this. It’s both illegal and harmful to the environment. I feel OP’s anger at the situation because we deal with it too, but moth balls is a big no no.
For dog poop I remove it and sprinkle coffee grounds on top to confuse the scent.
What do the moth balls do?
Apparently, fuck up the environment, so forget I said anything
