Lemon juice. But if they've chosen you you're going to struggle.

It's a faff, but a squirty water bottle will deter them if you get a direct hit (recommended by a vet)

Orange peel supposed to keep them away. I don't think they like citrus smells so chuck some orange peel around your garden!

Nuke it from orbits, it's the only way to be sure.

On a more useful note, I've heard that having a replica of a cat in the garden intimidates other cats.

We used to have loads of cat muck left around our flower beds etc, used to stink. Tried everything - citrus, pepper etc. All failed.

Then we invested in a sonic cat repellent (around £25 or so from Robert Dyas) - works a treat! Problem solved virtually overnight

Had heard about they don't like citrus peel but was thinking more along the lines of granules as anything you spray will just wash away when it rains.

an actual good improvisation that works for night time is to fill small clear plastic bottles up with water and lay them on sides, any light that hits the water,keeps the cats away!!

I only know as my grandparents used to do this to keep cats out of the garden!

We had this problem. What we did was befriend one the cats. Started feeding him and making him feel at home. Now this cat thinks he owns our garden and doesn't shit in it anymore, and a bonus is he won't let any other cats do it as well.

Only thing that's worked for us is to plant bushes where the cats were coming in over the fence. They don't like landing in them so walk all around the fence and don't use our garden, obviously it takes a year for the bushes to grow, so still had cats spraying on our plants until then. My garden look really nice this year, no stains or burns on any of my plants and nothing has died.

I love cats but yeah their poo stinks if you give them milk, i think if cat owners didn't give them milk then people wouldn't object to the poo so much. Never gave my cat milk and her poo was smelly but nothing like milky poop when my kids snuck her some.

Gather holly leaves and other prickly or thorny cuttings and place where the cats are shutting.

Another vote for the sonic cat repellent here.

Makes the kids laugh as us two of a certain age can hear it when it detects us passing and starts it's high pitched noise (it's not very loud). They don't hear a thing.

Apparently it is inaudible to the young

We wouldn't know

Aldi had hard rubber fence spike sets which you nail to the top of the fence if that's how they are getting into the garden.

Yeah reasonably frequently but it is effective.

I bought a device from homebase which deters them. It's like a PIR siren thing. It emits a really high pitched sound which I can't hear (although the kids can).

rather defeats your end result somewhat but lion shit from your local zoo or wild park enclosure will get the desired effect in fact the next two streets wont find cats in their garden either

Cats hate strong smells, so anything that is strongly scented should deter. If you have entrance points, consider blocking them or coating them with obnoxious gunk that they won't like to move through - nothing dangerous to their health though!

Motion detection garden sprinklers can be handy in summer too.

If you have any thorny shrubs that you're pruning, lay the cut offs over areas they may use for their toilet, or might walk.

The longer you keep them out, the weaker their habit of visiting your garden becomes, so it's worth sticking at it, as well as adding new things to the deterrent list/places you're using.

creating a worm hole to another dimension in your garden, ensuring it's one way

Then when the kitties enter the garden they are sucked into the vortex, never to be seen again.

Hey presto problem sorted.

Make sure it's a cat friendly dimension don't want any harm to come to the cuddly bastards.
