Cat poop behind rental

[Scott J.]

Hi BPers,

I have a rental house that has a walkway behind it. I was doing some routine cleaning and noticed lots of cat poop back there. I already know the perps, who are a group of about three stray cats in the neighborhood.

The cats are loved by a couple of the older ladies in the neighborhood, so I'd rather not call animal services.

Does anyone know any tips to deter the cats from taking a dump behind my rental?
