How do I stop neighborhood cats from using my front yard as a litter box?
 

My yard smells like cat piss and poop. How can I stop the little bastards from doing their thing on my yard? Please don't suggest using firearms. I couldn't bring myself to shoot anything. Not because I'm against violence. I can't shoot worth a snot.

Did you see the thread on air guns? Silent and cheap, you'd get lots of chances.;)

I've heard cayenne pepper works, never tried it.

Mythbuster just tried several of the old tricks to keep a cat out. Not much works.

I had the same problem. I started trapping the cats. Take them to the pound. Problem soved.

I have the same issue. The neighbor and I have been using cayenne pepper and worked pretty well until the rain, but eventually they smart up and go else where on the property. you and I both need to learn how to shoot the neighbor's pets. I want to shoot the one of the neighbor's dog that pisses on my door step a few times a week. Now I just have to find out which one.

This. What you do with them after trapped is up to you.

Get a BIG DOG...

I've had great success with a motion activated sprinkler, bought from Home Depot. Alternatively, a good sling shot using jujubes (aka DIY rubber bullets) works well, too.

mothballs can discourage critters, but then it smells like mothballs at your house

Doesn't even have to be a BIG dog...a doberhuahua would suffice :D

For the love of God, Don't kick them

Oh crap I'm literally LOL :D

get an electric fence charger and make a loop of wire for the dog to piss on! Will not hurt him, but you will never have him do it again I bet. kind of like touching a spark plug wire, only with your dick!

I don't understand how she will help unless she has some sort of weapon hidden. ;)

Here is the video tutorial on this exact subject.

That video is awesome!!!

Still prefer the pellet gun, though.

Antifreeze in a dish.

Rofl!
