i think the batteries last two months or so. you problem should go away by then.

The motion sprinkler (Scarecrow) is very effective. It covers a large area and it doesn't hurt anyone. Can you aim it away from walk paths?
Yeah, I saw this online. Great reviews on it.
Do you keep it on 24/7? How long do the batteries last?

I use it when I notice cat poop around. Then it's out 24/7 for about a month. I can usually remove it after that until I have to "re-train/scare" them again.
The battery is a 9v alkaline and it lasts a decent period. Depends on how often it goes off. Just aim it low and don't set it too sensitive, otherwise wind/cars would set it off. It only spurts for a second or three but the noise and water is enough to keep them away.
I saw it priced online for about $45 once. They are $80 at b/m stores.

I have no idea who's cat it is. I've only seen it a handful of times in the year I've lived here. I'm at work during the day and asleep at night. I see the disgusting t urds on the weekends when I'm doing yard work.

its odd that its using your lawn. you'd think it could find better spots.
Yeah, isn't it? It's like a cat version of an "F U" to take a dump in the middle of your yard to find and clean up.

You really should consider trapping. Cats go in and never come out.

Yeah, right.
Either a cat-owner keeps their cat indoors, or lets them out. And once their out, there's no control.
