Why do cats do their 'business' in somebody else's garden - normally mine!

I once heard that you can put moth balls in your garden and that would keep the cats out the smell is not so great but a friend said it worked for her:)  goodluck!

It's just as bad when dog owners refuse to be responsible for cleaning up after walking their dogs.

I stepped out of my car the other day and nearly tread on a pile of steaming dog poop that was right on the pathway to my front door. Arrrrrggggg!

There are supposed to be "green" products that you can spray around the perimeter of your garden that will keep cats and other small animals away. It's not harmful to them but they don't like the smell.

You might check with your local greenhouse for ideas. Good luck with that, Ron.

Just a quick question ...although i do clear up after cass, i don't if shes wandered of into the bush, as its impossible, but i can't help thinking there must be millions of plastic bags full of dog poo dumped in ?landfill sites, ?this poo won't rot down easily, as the air isn't getting to it. Poo is organic, and will rot into the earth, i'm aware of the toxins it can create, but hey ...who wants to eat soil??  and would it not be wise to teach children not to, instead of sterilising the earth??

Now i have a terrible thought that the landfill sites get full, then 10 yrs along houses are built on them!!  think of that! would you want a house on thousands of tons os VERY slowly putrifying dog poo??  not me!!

The moth balls work well. Since I put a liberal sprinkling around the perennial borders, I must say I have not seen one moth in my garden!

Hi Jason, I forgot to mention that the care and surgical precision required to separate the moth from its tackle, makes it a very labour intensive scheme too!
