I have tried everything to stop them pooing in my front garden and have now
had more than enough. We have a dog who is only allowed in the back garden. There is no cat poo in the back garden. If I deposit a dog poo in the front garden will this deter the cats? I don't want to use the final solution with the cats, anti-freeze. |
