    Can anyone help? Neighbour's cats are using me garden to leave their mess in. Is there anything that I can do to keep the cats out of my garden.

    Get a water pistol,joking apart,I also have a cat coming into my garden but not to mess just to catch the birds,I wa advised to get some lions dung,I expect you would get it from garden centre or over the internet,I can't use it myself because I have a dog and apparently lions dung scares off dogs too.

    Cats don't like citrus, so if you eat grapefruit or orange, cut the peel into large slices and bury slightly under the earth around special plants. Otherwise, get your own cat! They rarely mess in their own territory and other cats will be put off using your garden too.

    See if you can plant a few sharp pointy plants around your garden, or some cactuses, cats don’t really like sharp object sticking into their rear end Twisted Evil Laughing

    (I used to do work for a landscape maintenance company and used to use a brush cutter/strimmer and used to accidentally cut through cat poo quite often, its dam right disgusting and you don’t want it fired onto your clothing or get it anywhere near your eyes, it stinks to high heaven and is a nightmare to clean off!)

    There are some nifty devices on the market these days, such as Ultrasonic Cat Deterrent Systems, which send out high pitched noises (Beyond the capability of human hearing) which can scare such animals away.. Don’t know how well they actually work as I have never tried such devices… YET Exclamation
