I hit things with sticks....
Be very surprised if cats stay away but if that doesn't work......Gonna find out. Lol. So far so good!
I put down a combination of moth balls and stuff I picked up a Lowes (can't recall the name), it was the only cat repellent they had. I think it's working.
Neighbor's cats would use our front flower bet as a toilet. I didn't know (or care) until our puppy decided that cat poop was a treat.
He's no longer going in our flower bed to find snacks so I think it's working.
I also found this I was going to try next
