Neighbours have 2 young cats which are using my garden as toilet and killing the birds.

Anyone ever used a cat scarier or any other tips.

Not that old chestnut ...... don't take it personally, that's what cats do and they don't kill very many cos it's easier to eat at home rather than catch their own tea.

But they do kill birds just because they enjoy doing it......not just for food.

The estimated 16 million birds a year killed by cats sounds a lot to me.  The trouble is that cats hunting instinct cuts in and when they catch a bird they often don't kill it but leave it in a terrible mess.

You can buy a repellant spray - spray all around your boundaries, and the area being used as a toilet, and the cats won't venture in.  You may have to try more than one make before you find one which works, and keep repeating it, but eventually the cats will go elsewhere.
