Given the glorious weather of late we have been sitting in the garden and have noticed a strong smell of what I think is cat poo. Don't get me wrong, we both love cats and have never minded their visits to our garden. We had the family over yesterday and the smell was really quite pungent. We have looked around and can't find anything obvious where it hasn't been buried. Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of the smell or what to put down to deter the cats using our garden as a toilet.

I'm finding keeping the garden nice a real problem and it's getting worse :

My nice neighbour has four cats and doesn't dig her garden so her beds are like concrete whereas mine are inviting and the other neighbour has a tip in which foxes live . These foxes have demolished the latest fence repair ( lasted a day ) and my fox loving neighbour is avoiding me .
It means another politely written letter to him and hopefully not another screaming session from him .

My garden is a lavatory for both .

I liquidise citrus peel .I haven't tried garlic .
I also put down strategically placed kebab sticks when planting - these are trampled on .
Holly branches would help too .
I have used Jeyes fluid but it can kill plants .

When the weather warms up I'm planting a quince hedge where the fence is broken .
I'm on poop duty daily .
I've given up exhibiting my flowers , because they are never presentable these days .
