Some cats severely dislike orange and lemon peel.

Also useful for drenching the mother-in-law.
Also, a cheaper alternative:

No, I doubt it. They require a decent pressure of mains water, especially if you want a good spread of water. I shouldn't worry too much about being on a water meter, though, as they claim only to use a couple of cupfuls of water for each spray. Also, you can reduce their sensitivity to avoid unnecessary activations.
The bad news is that you can only join the club if you were born in God's County.
What makes you think it is cat poop? I get loads of poop on my lawn, the sheer quantity per sitting suggests a larger animal, perhaps a badger which we do get. Or even a fox. The piles can consist of multiple turds, each at least 4" long and at least 0.5" wide.
I tried one of those ultrasonic scarers, it worked, but the rechargeable batteries last only a month, and you then have to unscrew the cover to recharge them. It is a pain, and I lost the screws. Plus the battery area shows corrosion so the seal is not water tight. I cannot recommend it. I was thinking about making a little rain cover like an awning which leaves the compartment open, but I suppose damp would get in and destroy it, so it needs a seal. I wonder if this works?

They say lemon and curry scent scares cats. I have lemon blam, lemon verbena, lemon thyme and curry plant, and I don't see cats in the garden anymore, but that might be chance and no more.

I'm pretty sure it's cat poo. Have tried an ultra-sonic gadget against mice in a country garage, it was very un-impressive I'm afraid. Am thinking seriously about a water loaded job. Thanks for the info on plants, all grist to the mill.

Are you sure it is cat? Cats are good at burying poo. Foxes aren't but their poos are somewhat bigger than a cat's.
Of course. One day, I'd like to move there. Some very nice places.
I was born and brought up in Bradford, which is not a nice place! There's no way I'm moving back there!
I reckon you can make sure whether it's cat or fox poo by having a good poke around!
