If this is still a problem then try squeezing oranges over them from time to time, apparently cats hate the smell and don't go near it. Found this out when cats kept coming in the garden once and the dog kept going mental. I stuck half of oranges here and there and squeezed them around the perimiter. Worked a treat.

So does shooting them with an airgun..:lol:

A few years back I was tiling a downstairs W.C. floor with the bowl in place, as it was cemented in. The man of the house was a chronic alchoholic and never went outside. When I had finished tiling I told him not to walk on the floor as it was not yet grouted. When I went back to grout the floor it was drenched in urine. Apparentely he had been peeing from the doorway to the bowl for the entire weekend.

Seem to get a run of dirty stinking house every few months.

Done a kitchen just before Christmas, the sort of place that stinks of dog. Worktops needed clearing of last night's chippy, dirty plates in the sink, half drank beer tins etc. Then went to use the toilet and there were dirty clothes everywhere and skidmarks on the seat. Needless to say, didn't take a cup of coffee off her.

Was doing a harth about a week before that, just getting started and had to ask the lady to remove what the cat had shat right beside the fireplace. The smell still lingered there - every time she left the room, I emptied about half a tin of her air freshener into the area.

Round about the same time, I had a bathroom to do. Dirty smelly foul house with dirty clothes and dishes lying everywhere. The tiles were stored in the child's room, which involved wading through skidmarked underwear and the smell of pish.

Haven't had an overly pongy one since thankfully. Those jobs were in North, West and East Belfast respectively, so all the bigotry about the 'other side' being dirty and unwashed has been disproved. They're both as uncouth as each other. :lol:
