    The most fun cat deterrent is a big water soaker rifle. Splash them a couple of times, they'll never come back.

    Our variant is a big scary dog that only likes our cats.

    But I have seen them in my garden a fair bit. Judging from the tracks they make in the snow over the winter, my garden seems to be a regular route to walk across every night.
    I'm not saying it isn't fox poop, I just wondered if you could tell from looking at it

    There you go. Problem solved.

    The pellets are soaked in real essence of lion dung, dried and sterilised.

    Must give it a try. My front garden is covered in fox tulip.
    yep works, neighbours plagued by foxes, I just wee in a bucket and spread round the perimeter.

    never see a fox in my garden.

    Seems a little extreme but had young kittens and an aggressive fox.

    You can buy bags of Lion/Leopard/Rhino poo at your nearest Zoo. Spread this around the garden and it apparently frightens them off as they think there is some huge predator at loose.
    Failing that, have you considered napalm?

    They did that on the neighbours garden, he tried all sorts (jeyes fluid etc.) which didn't work...what did work was him spreading his own pee all over
