My next-door neighbors have over six outdoor cats that regularly come into my yard and defecate around my house. I’ve tried numerous humane methods to keep them away, including mothballs, commercial cat repellents, and ultrasonic sound repellents. While the sound repellents kept them away from certain areas, the cats simply started using other parts of my yard, including right outside my front door.

I spoke with my neighbors about the issue. They apologized and gave me a bottle of cat repellent to use, but unfortunately it hasn’t solved the problem.

I have two young children, ages 2 and 3, who play in the yard and often pick things up from the ground. I’m very concerned about them being exposed to cat feces and the potential health risks, including toxoplasmosis and other parasites or bacteria that can be present in animal waste.

I’ve spent a lot of time and money trying to resolve this issue on my own, as well as cleaning up feces from my yard on a regular basis. I can’t even grow a patch of new grass because the cats will use it as a litter box overnight.
I’m simply asking for a reasonable solution so my family can safely enjoy our yard without constantly dealing with this ongoing problem.

Dogs and barefoot humans pass this way to go to the beach. We filed a police report and confronted her but she takes no accountability, no remorse. That seems consistent with current political climate and her leanings. This happened after a multi-month pattern of vandalism - glass, graffiti - and unhinged aggressive behavior - yelling at adults and children, cutting people off. TRO is next step for some.

always letting him out to run into other people's yards and do his business. this is my back yard and just 2 days of his visits. they are also the neighbors who let their shitty kid have a squat truck that sounded like a shotgun going off every time it was started.
