Any suggestions besides trapping and drowning or shooting the little pieces
of sh*t that poop in my garden and pee in my carport?

I'm considering getting one of the "havahart" electric fence jobs and
zapping them until they get the message they are no longer welcome here.

Any other suggestions?

Cats, generally, don't like and avoid the smell of citrus. If you can find
an air freshener, cleaning compound, etc. that emits such an odor, it might
act as a deterrent.

Or you could move.

Feed the lion some oranges and lemons and then collect its crap, that should
work great.

Well, I do like the smell of citrus; might be a win-win on this one.

Thanks,

I have this trouble, too. A neighbor Lady feeds the stray cats that
live in the woods and, for whatever reason, they have chosen to come
and go to her house through my yard.

I was constantly finding their poop and places they dig up in my
vegetable patch to try and bury their poop, so I sprinkled moth balls
around the vegetable patch and that seems to help reduce their
intrusions.

I built a trap out of wire, lumber, cutting board, string and a mouse trap.
I found directions at the library but you can probably find them on the
internet. I found out, after I built it, I could of rented traps from Animal
Control.

After I caught them I called Animal Control and they took them.

If you know who owns the cats you might tell them first.

Here's one that works basically the same. Instead of the floor on a fulcrum,
I used a mouse trap to pull the string. It worked just as planned.

We resolved our issues with cats but were knew who they belonged to.
We dropped a copy of the city By Laws in their mail box regarding free
roaming cats and dogs. Then we started taking the animals to humane
services. First bail out cost the owners 75.00, second time 150.00
before they decided to keep their pets indoors. As for stray cats?
trap them and bring them to humane services.

Squeaky wheel. You're having the crap bugged out of you, right? Bug the

Meh...

I called them about a dog that roams around. Mean looking dog but actually
not so bad. Problem with AC is they won't get out in time to see the
problem. I like to take care of the problem myself.

You are either an optimist, or live in an area where they will actually come
out. In 95% of the country, they will not even come out unless you have the
animal trapped on YOUR property.

That's pretty much the way it is around here. I called them once to ask if
I could trap them, and they told me I would have to first inform my
neighbors that I was intending to trap them. Trapping can also yield a
crying, trapped animal, garnering the attention of everyone around, and I
don't want to be known as someone who does that sort of thing, or someone to
whom everyone runs with accusations when their precious little fluffy goes
missing.

I have to live here, after all, and humans are unpredictable creatures,
especially when they have somewhere to point their bony little fingers at.

So, I'm looking at behavior modification, either via electricity or, as was
suggested water. I like the water idea, but this being winter, and it being
prone to freezing around here, I'm leaning towards going with electricity.

Plus, the ground is wet, so there is a good ground.

Would love to hear if anyone else has had success with that method.

At that point, cat in the trap, the next question is "do you have a
shovel"?

A 5 minute soak in a 55 gallon barrel of water works, too.

Steve

Have to act promptly. The one time I had a woodchuck,
someone let it out before I got to the final solution.

There was an AC truck pulled over on a street near my street one day.
I stopped and asked the lady to drive by my house two blocks away and
hear the constantly barking dog. Shell tells me to call the office,
blah, blah... I had already filed a formal complaint.

A waste of tax dollars, IMO.

Don't waste your time. I had a dog that barked all night when his owner was
at work. They won't do a thing unless you have the animal trapped on YOUR
property.

It all depends on your relationship with your neighbors. If you like them,
talk to them. They MAY keep the cats at home. Step two, trap the cat, take
it over and give it to them, and tell them next time you will take it to
animal control. Step three, if no compliance, take it to animal control.
Step four, take it to a local creek and give it a five minute soak.

Fence the garden; bleach the carport. Get a dog. Set up traps and
