Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to stop cats doing their business on my allotment!

the one that works for me is butting down old water bottles in the area that the cat dose its poo , they don't seem to like them , they touch them when digging and it makes a noise and spooks them , most of mine happen at night , during the day our dog stands guard , hope it helps , there is pepper and other stuff but not effective when it rains .

Our member mkhenry has an article about this problem in his Handy Hints section:

I was having problems with cats in the garden and seem to have cracked it by cutting 2-3 foot pieces of bramble branch and putting both ends in the soil to form a loop. No very nice to squat down on....(I think if you leave them too long though you may have made perfect bramble cuttings).

Spraying my own pee around has worked for me :shock: used tea bags sprayed with pee also worked.
Just remember to wash sprayer out after.

And never re-use the tea bags :oops:

Agree with CZ self generated wee works wonders, lots of cats in my area including mine no poo whatsoever!!!

Also keep your lawns well cut as they like longer grass, think they use it as kleenex...... :shock:
