Does anyone know a way to keeps cats from using flower beds as a litter box?

I have tried all kinds of repellents that are out there and nothing seems to work? Next will try using lead!

Citrus Oil. Spray it around the place, and it will keep even the most vile tomcat away. If you can, get some citrus spay, and get one of those auto sprayers that you can program. The hiss of the sprayer, and the smell of the citris works double duty. If you can squirt the cat with some, it will foam at the mouth, and write around trying to get the stuff off. I accidentally did this to my cat once.
Reply:I heard tell of these little motion sensor water sprayers that pop up and squirt water at whatever is moving. Can't think of the name of them at the moment however. I think you could easily turn them off if you didn't want on, like if you were having people over and they'd be walking right by the beds. Goodluck!
Reply:Moth balls will work, but you have to replace them regularly. Also there are products that have little spikes that you can put around. If you make it hard enough for them, they'll go use the neighbor's yard instead of yours.
Reply:I am going to try getting a big bag of ground black pepper from an Asian grocer as I have this problem. Some one suggested this on Yahoo Answers a while back. Haven't had time to try it yet but I can't imagine it not working!
