Neighborhood cats shit right in the middle of my lawn. It stinks and the robot lawn mover makes it even worse.

I do NOT like cats, and this is not helping.

What works to keep them from shitting on my lawn?

    Look up ultrasonic animal repeller. I’ve never used one, but it may work for you. It makes a high pitch noise that should stop cats and other animals from wandering into your yard.

      I’m skeptical about how well those things work. There are a few houses with them on our walking route, and they definitely bother me much more than my dog. He couldn’t care less about the noise, while it gives me a headache. Maybe cats would be more sensitive to the noise than my dog, but like I said, I’m skeptical.

        I’m the same as you, I find them really painful, I think people don’t realise how much these can affect humans.

          Wonder how much the average age of those buying them plays into it. A 40 year old may not be able to hear it, but younger people almost certainly will.

              Honestly I just have no clue what the normal age to start losing that range of hearing is. My hearings kind of fucked up after being in band and sitting in front of trumpets and trombones from 6th grade til I graduated college lol
