There is a product I used to buy at Mitre10, it was a bright green jelly type stuff that you sprinkled round the affected area, and it put off a strong smell of I think pine. The gel lasted a couple of weeks before rain etc dissolved it into the garden, but that usually is enough time to put cats off I think.
Try your local garden center if something like that interests you. I remember it working very well the times I used it.

Dawn, I think napthalene products (mothballs) were removed from the market several years ago. I still have about 1/2 dozen in a glass jar,but they've become sort of fused/melted together. I used to use them in bottom of my outside rubbish bin, under the blue bags we have to buy to dispose of our rubbish. It kept away the insects and hid the 'rubbish' smell, too.

I sympathise Lyn. We had the exact situation when living in Auckland, did lots of reasearch, bought and tried lots of products from black pepper to everything that was available in the garden centres, tried a spray pistol and gadgets you attach to the fence/house that emits a sound that animals don’t like. I am sorry to say that nothing worked for us. In desperation I grew basil and other herbs in pots and a cheeky cat did its business there as well just to let me know that it was futile and who was boss. There are thank goodness very few cats in our new neighbourhood and there is only the occasional dump left but that is enough to bring back memories. I don’t have any real advice for you, just want to let you know that it’s good for the wallet to be cautious when spendi g on remedies. Good luck.
