A device emitting ultrasound that’s supposed to deter cats and thus encourage birds. I hate those things. Ultrasound my foot I can hear them, and it's borderline painful.

I have one and can hear it even at it’s highest frequency and at my age. The cats don’t seem to be deterrred by it or by the Lion poo. Using mats like these amazon.co.uk seemsto be helping, but if I put mulch over the top they are happy to just shit on that without digging a hole first. Damn things should be kept indoors/ in a secure garden or not at all.

Doesn't look particularly pretty but at least we are not getting the stench of cat poo when we have our living room windows open now.

It took me a few passes to work out the reason. (We have one "visiting" cat. I think it has other shitting places so we only get the occasional fragrant present.)

That's what I did, also scattered the used filtered coffee, one or both worked!
