Cats keep helping thereselfs to the fish from my garden pond leaving behind blood and scales all over the patio !
I have 2 motion water jets protecting the pond plus fishing line as nets but to no avail !
Any suggestions ?

Air rifle Thumbs Up

Upturned coke bottles with the bottom cut off plant them in ur flowerbed or something and fill em with water, cats step in em and hate it and run off as a general rule.

Tiger poo.

Some zoo's were selling it not long ago. Scatter some around the garden and the scent of the larger cat scares other cats off.

...or so I have heard anyway.

how many other people fell for that april fool's gag? Smile

The usual tricks are pepperdust or wide-mesh chicken wire laid down flat around the edge of the pond with a couple of inches clearance - kind of like a cattle grid, but for cats.

We've got some fine mesh over the top of the pond which is enough to keep cats paws away from the fish.

You can also put tinfoil underneath the mesh if you want it to be doubly effective.
But it won't look very nice.

I could be wrong. It's happened before.

HI

I myself adore cats, but a mate at work said cats were pooing in his garden and so he set off in search of something

In the end he got some green crystals from Wilkinsons. I think they are called 'Get Off'. Sounds a bit rude. Har har Embarassed Mr. Green Neutral
Anyway>>>
I know etc At Home sell them too. He said they worked! (Rare for these things)
As they are green and small they won't be too obtrusive scattered on the edge of a lawn, around pond
