Default Cats crapping on my lawn

Next doors cat has started crapping on my lawn and the dam thing has diarrhea. For the last three night it crapped three times on my back lawn. I've bought one of these from ebay 230691198405 the thing is supposed to emit sonic noises to scare it away.
They have 6-7 cats which is way too much for anyone and since my dog died we have had the dirty B******* peeing on the front door and five times in my car air intakes which stunk my car out for days.
Anyone know if those sonic things work or any other way to keep them away.

Light off one M80, just once, and I can guarantee it won't return.


(and will be spending the next moth trying to remove it's arse from around it's shoulders)

not sure if the sonic thing works or not but orange peel and citrus is hated by cats
a plastic coke bottle filled with water also seems to do the trick, although that may just work for dogs

They have also ruined £50 worth of plants sleeping on them. New spikes stop them doing that now.

Default cat problem

Dress as a giant dog and wait for the next cat to show its devious face...pounce out from behind the shed barking!! If it doesnt work it will def be worth the sight for the neighbours

Never used that particular sonic thing, but yes they normally work quite well, we’ve had a couple of them. They can also be quite painful to kids ears too.

In the short term just soaking the lawn with the hose pipe at night might work, as it’s not gonna dry too fast this time of year and most cats hate going near wet stuff. Good excuse to get a water gun too!

On the large dusty track the 6.5 would be my first choice. It's got loads of power and is easy to drive smooth on the bottom end. It can be adjusted to gave a huge top end as well when coupled with the RS. For the Pred and any other 4wd offroad car running mods I recomend the Pro versions either R1 or RS Pro.

If you have the R1 Pro and want to use a sensroless motor my choice would be the 362 or the 448. The 448 being my first choice.

I should be getting a Pred myself to run here soon so I'll have a lot more input for you.

An update on the situation. The dam cat got used to the sonic deterrent and carried on crapping right in front of it after just 3 days. The seller just gave me a full refund so there are some decent sellers on ebay.
After a week of it ignoring the sonic gizmo I took the advice of earlier posts and got some Silent Roar lion manure pellets. Put them in boiling water in a watering can and watered all the grass and borders. The cat came over for its morning routine stopped dead looked round like it was going to be mugged and ran like hell back over the fence. It has not been near my garden once since not even for a short cut home. I dont get them pissing on my car or garage and front door now and just to keep them scared I recorded a few lion and tiger roars on my phone which I play now and again just to let them know something big is out there.
