Stopping cats poo on your garden!

Hi, we have a problem with cats pooing on our garden, which wasnt a problem last year cos we didnt use the garden. But now with a baby we are going to turf it in a couple of weeks, and want to start using it.
Last year I used 'Get off my garden' for cats and dogs which was from Wilkinsons, wanst very good cos they still pooed on the garden! Today I have gone and cleaned all the cat poo up, so will be able to see if they are still using the garden.
My sis said to dig the area (so all the poo is gone) then put moth balls down and slate so they wont go on! I also thought about putting windmills aroudn the area so it scares them!?
Anyone got any tips or ideas please?

scares them off apparently.
my grandparents used to swear by this
You win.
The neighbourhood cats take great pleasure in shitting on our turfed front garden :grump:
The area that the cats poo its got black material down (the stuff that stops weeds) so they dont dig it, theres no holes.
Is it cats?? Or I thought maybe the dog from next door - he climbs up the wall and jumps over onto our garden (but I havent seem him do this for a while, but then again I aint been in the garden alot) or it could be a fox?
oo, does it just roll around the garden all day?
(to pick the cat crap up and sling it over the fence that is).
I'd suggest chasing them away with a pitch fork - they'll spread the word amongst the cat people!
Lol, just joking - my dad used mothballs i think and they worked!
I dug a hole and put it in upside down when I had a garden. It scares them off because they can see their reflection and to them it looks like a big scary cat!Alternatively moth balls are good. I've heard that male urine is a good deterrent apparently because of scent and territory :crazyeyes
my mum got sick of it tho and put up a mini electric fence now he comes nowhere near! i fell on it once and it delivers quite a shock! so its no suprise he never attempts to get in anymore.
