What can I put down to keep my cat from using the bathroom in the landscaping?

Michelle T asked:


I have small gravel in the landscaping in front of my house. My outdoor cats use the gravel for their litterbox. I have tried pepper, ammonia, Listerine, and moth balls. Nothing so far has worked to keep them away. I have put out litter boxes so they can use them, and they do, but they keep coming back to the gravel.

I am open to suggestions, as long as it is safe for the animals.

Lawn Care Liquid Solution Ingredients?

My neighbor’s hired a lawn care company to get rid of all the weeds on their lawn. They sprayed this yellow-tinted liquid onto their lawn, which killed off all the living plants, weeds or grass. They then spread seedlings directly on top of the dead, dry matter, and new grass began to grow on top.

What do you guys think that the liquid they sprayed was made of? Like, what kinds of substances could it contain?
