F***ing cats and their f***ing s**t. How the hell do you get rid of the little buggers? Every cat in the neighbourhood seems to have decided that my gravel driveway is their litterbox.
I'm getting close to having to use nuclear options to dissuade them. My most recent (and most long lasting) deterrent has been Chilli powder, bought in bulk from the local Indian. But after some months of success my furry, spit-covered foes seem to have developed an immunity, perhaps even an addiction. I'm pretty sure I've seen some of them hanging around the local off-licence trying to pick up some lager.
The powder and liquid offerings of the DIY stores are completely useless, you just end up looking like a complete tit, wandering up and down the driveway with a capfull of expensive granules, trying to figure out how much you are supposed to scatter per square metre. And then it rains and you have to start all over again.
What marketing genius decided to put on the shelves a garden product rendered immediately useless by a few spots of rain? In Britain?!?
Obviously one who has a fondness for repeat sales ... and letter bombs.
So now I'm moving into the electronic age with a device which evidently emits an ultrasonic sound that drives cats away. Some hope.
Why not go for the carrot approach. Spread cat-nip on all your neighbor's driveways ??
