Simple gardener's trick stops cats from pooing and ruining plants from just 30p

Gardeners toil away to make an oasis at home, but cats can torpedo all that hard work by turning backyards into toilets.

Troublesome feline trespassers - both strays and pets - have a legal right to roam and wander into your garden, according to the SSPCA. Unfortunately, that means cats are free to do their business in your vegetable plot and dig up lovingly manicured flower beds.

It's important to note that cats are protected animals according to Scottish law. The good news is that these furry menaces can be repelled with a humane method that only costs 30p - unless you already have some citrus fruit at home.
