you can get special pellets to stop them doing this and they do work. You don't need many, just one per cat, and they come in two sizes 2.2 and 1.77.
The costly part is the air rifle to go with them
before you call the RSPCA and complain it was a joke - not a good joke but a joke all the same!

My Dad's 94 year old uncle uses salmon mix with antifreeze and a 4-10 shot gun.

All very helpful so far.
Not too bothered about killing them, just stopping the parcels being delivered.Posted 11 months ago # -
Waterpistol.

i got some stuff from b&q that you can dilute in a watering can. seemed to do the trick for a while. i'm sure there's a cheapo alternative if you google it
i did use the hose a couple of times, but we don't mind it visiting, just not pooing in the flowerbeds

Having a wee in there normal spot, it can put them off.

on a serious note: cats dont like citrus smells/flavours so maybe marking it with lemon juice?

Do you have small children? Equipping them with supersoakers works well.
Also, you can get pellets and rods from diy shops.

1 litre or 2 litre pop bottle, label off, fill with water and place in centre of the garden.

How many people do you need to shoot your air rifle supertramp? 2.2 inch pellets - that should be fun!

I did read somewhere that lengths of hose pipes with red stripes applied and stick on eyes did the job. Cat thinks they are snakes in the grass and poos eleswhere

A neighbour used to do that,but nobody knew why, and she wouldnt tell anyone why.
But now i know, and shes gone.

And that'll stop cats crapping in my garden? Does it work for foxes too?

Borrow a hungry constrictor snake. Snake will only manage 1 cat per week or so. It's a long-term solution.

It will stop the cats, not sure about foxes, but maybe their Glacier Mints may produce a similar effect.

Traditional answer always used to be nip round to your local zoo and acquire some lion dung - ideally by negotiating with the keeper rather than the lion. Never met or heard of anyone who has actually tried it and always wondered if it would in fact work, but, now I come to think about it, if anybody has been daft enough to try it then STW may be exactly the sort of place to find them lurking.
So, in the immortal words of the great Delia of Norwich - Lets be 'avin you. Frankly, I am going to be jolly disappointed if nobody on STW can put my mind to rest on this matter.

Yeah, sometimes it can be too powerful.

Used tea bags , soak in bleach, scatter in garden. Works.

I once put a sign in my front garden 'can you please stop your cat crapping on my garden - the CCTV does work'
Next day some one had thrown the contents of a litter tray over my car!

st - that is *almost* fair enough. I had my cat spayed recently and the vet says to me, "don't let her jump up on things and run around". It's a **** cat. What am I going to do? have a stern word or threaten to ground her?
Cats do pretty much as they please regardless of your views on the matter.

They'd be getting that back through their letter box if they did that to me.

how does the bottle of water thing work?

Orange peel or similar scattered around the boundary will stop them coming into the garden. It has to be fresh though so will only last a day in hot weather.

Get a bag of broken slate from b and q, scatter around the plants or in the top of the planters. Gravel/ stone works too, but only if it's not too fine. Also get some small wooden stakes like you use for supporting new plants and dot them in the area. Local cats were crapping in our planters and the above stopped it

That's true, so the easiest solution is for the owner to offer to clear up any offending parcels.
