And the dog owners that let their dogs crap or pee anywhere.... As a gardener (by trade now) I see dogs run onto lawns or into gardens all the time and owners start tugging desperately (especially on those friggin' retractable leads)... Come here (insert name) as they yank hard seeing me... and the dog is looking like WTF stupid human ... I crap and pee here everyday ... !!! (yeah I'm a dog owner... just not one those aholes.. or the folks that back it and hang it on a tree on the trail .... as if they are coming back for it... right...

Looks like time to learn Arduino (to make the cat sprayer). Make magazine had a how-to article on that last year. I heard that hot pepper powder on the lawn helps also. Motivation to grow some ghost peppers or go to a Korean/Chinese store where they have huge bags of dried pepper powder. Mean? What do you mean - it's all natural! I am tempted to try that to keep the dogs off also. But yes, fences help. I had cat infestations* which have all but vanished in the back yard when I switched from a wood fence to plastic. No t sure why plastic worked, maybe too slippery for the snowflakes. Rodent populations have not increased AFAIK. *- infestations? cute kitties? yeah, infestation when they start breeding in every nook and cranny, dig up the vegetables, piss on everything and look at you like "why are you in MY yard?"
