Tried all the tips here and nothing works, cats soon forget and creep back in the garden when they think you are not looking, the house next door to me has twentyfive dogs barking in the garden, the only thing that doesn't go in my garden is me!!!!!! the cat's know that the dogs can't reach them in my garden so they stroll around with impunity, heads and tails stuck in the air, you can almost see the snicker on their faces, and maybe like dogs they would roll in the Lion or Tiger pooh to disguise themselves to go and beat up other cats and put the fear of the king of the jungle into every living creature.
I purchased cat repellent sticks - brown hard plastic with a scent. Seem them advertised in a builders hardware but actually got them in 'Lakeland' the cooking/baking outlet - THEY WORK.
Approx 50mm is stuck into floor bead and a protruding brown 75mm slick puts out a scent.
That seems rather expensive if they are not planted miles apart, and how long are they supposed to last. A couple of years would be reasonable at that price or even 1 season at a push. Perhaps once the scent had gone off them they could be used to hit the cats instead!
My neighbour on one side reckons saucers of anti-freeze do the biz, or chopped-up jelly fish! I was thinking of trying to get one of those old air rifles that you used to see at fairs, which fired corks!

5 sticks where approx. £5
How much space between them, and how long are they claimed to last?

You could always start up a 'catalogue' !
