how can i stops cats and dogs from useing my flower bed as a bathroom?
My mom sprinkled pepper around the outer edges to keep her cat out of her flower beds. Worth a try. As for dogs, watch to make sure that it isn't someone who is walking their dog, some people will allow their pet to do their business in flower beds...rude! Anyway, if they are step out and nicely ask them to please quite doing that, if that doesn't work then, remind them that they are trespassing.
the only way I can think of is to build a fence. I am having the same problem. My pool just died so all I have in its spot is a bunch of sand and stray cats keep coming and using it.
Orange peels skin side up laid on the area they use. Before you put them down but while you're in the spot squeeze the peel to release the oil. Cats hate citrus. You don't have to completely cover the area but about the skin from one orange for every 2-3 square feet. This works on cats but I'm not sure about dogs.
There is LIQUID FENCE on the market now........try it..
