Next door neighbours cats!!!!

That spray from Wilkos will it harm the grass?

 

Hi Andy,

No it won't harm anything, animal or plant-life. It's basically a mixture of orange juice and mint with water. It has no extra additives at all.

 

I've wondered for a while now - why is cat poo considered as dangerous as depleted uranium?Chicken poo is OK, horse poo is OK and the local farmer sprays diluted cow poo on his fields - so why is cat poo any different?

Have I said poo too many times?

 

Cats are carnivores and their poo can carry nasty parasites which can and do affect humans. With the number of people who allow their cats to roam freely, there's always the chance the cats might not have been regularly treated with worming tablets, (vet prescribed worming tablets are much stronger than the ones people can buy in pet shops or supermarkets).
Also, you don't know if the cat which poos in your garden has eaten any less than freshly killed animal or bird carcass it came across while roaming. So, you have the potential of parasitic contamination and bacterial contamination with cats.
Chicken manure pellets will have been heat treated at very high temperatures to kill any nasties. Horses and cows are herbivores and don't carry intestinal parasites which can be transmitted to humans. They are also treated regularly with strong worming medication.
My 2 dogs are wormed every 3 months with tablets prescribed by my vet...but I have no idea if the cat poo my puppy finds in my garden and tries to eat is from a cat which has ever seen a wormer let alone had one...

 

Hmmmmm maybe I picked up the wrong one then cos mine says irritant on the bottle???

 

My garden was a cat run, over time ive blocked there paths and made it hard work for them to get in 8/9ft fence in places its harder for them to get out in a hurry with pea netting on the fences,

I very rare see one now in my garden they use next doors i see them on my cctv every night ,



Maybe the OP doesn't want to scare them but capture them

 

@GYO newbie I'd spray it on the boundary fences/walls like @clueless1 * and anthony suggested and put cheap windmills where they're pooing now. There's also a citrus gel and granules that you could use or if your that determined spike strips for the fence/wall, but they're not particularly nice.

*sorry!

 

I found a cat in the garden yesterday, ive put a few flyers out around the village .

 

Exactly. People who keep cats and allow them to run free and kill what they like and poo where they like without regard to the kids theymay blind, or the adults they mmay render useless due to nastyliver infections are quite honestly very inconsiderate people. You can't blame the animal for doing what it does, but the owner has the choice. Introduce an infection carrying wild animal to poo in the neighbouring kids garden, or not.

 

How exactly would you stop a cat from roaming - difficult methinks
We have the best cat deterrent in the UK - Molly the cats Nemesis
Also the Nemisis of what was quite a nice back lawn

 

This will stop them.

 

Aw bless it!

No matter how much I shout their names, if they have brought a bird, mouse, rat, mole, vole, slowworm or even a lizard (twice!) they will carry on throwing it in the air and will even hiss and growl.. much to my disgust! But that is the nature of an outdoor cat, unfortunately. The only thing to do is buy a decent wormer and take them to the vets regularly, its a real shame when people don't give the cat the proper care they need. (Taken on 2 neglected cats this year..) But that is a totally different rant to cats pooing in the garden.

 

A Jack Russell Terrier in the garden will keep anything away: cats, foxes, lions ...
