Re: How can I get my neighbors cat to stop pooping on our lawn

do they poop in the same spot, or different spots?

so far it seems like it's the same spot. But we just had an irrigation system put in this week....so that might change

chicken wire.. if you put that down in your garden beds, they don't like the way it feels on tehir paws, so they stay away.

learned that from the gardening guy on HGTV.

it's not in the flower beds, but on the lawn. (FYI: anything prinkly in flower beds like pinecones will keep them out)

We have seen her in the act and my neighbor did clean it up, but she keeps coming back.

Based on some reviews that I read online, CatStop is supposed to be pretty good.

We're going to have our front yard completely dug up & replanted in late August & I'm contemplating getting a few of these. My neighbor feeds 5 or 6 strays and they've been destroying our yard...I don't want them to ruin the new grass before it even comes in!!

When you have a 16 month old, the last thing you need is worry if she's picking something up or stepping in it.


I might look into that catstop device

I heard that mothballs work to keep them away. Not sure if cats will eat them and get harmed, if that happens then please don't hold me responsible lol I've never tried, just heard it works...good luck!

I've heard that vinegar works (don't know if that'll affect your garden or lawn though). Also heard that Bounce dryer sheets and used coffee filters work.

spraying them with a garden hose a few times might work.
