how to stop cats from peeing under bushes

Question

My parents live in Boynton Beach FL and the neighbor's 10 cats use their front bushes as the community toilet. My father is going crazy. Of course, nothing that will kill, just deter them!

I just saw when checking out some new product lines for the nursery. I don't have a clue if it works or not. But thought I would share it with you. http://www.contech-inc.com

@ 4 Seasons-nice.....how does it know a cat from a skunk or dog?

I don't think it does. But the sound maybe only effective in the hearing range for a cat?

Thanks for the help everyone! I've told my parents about the coffee grounds, they are already doing the cayenne pepper without success.

Rent a neighbors dog.  :)  Its darn impossible to stop them once they have make this their favorite potty place.  But noise or spray devices work best. 
You may need to replace the mulch bed before any of the other methods would work.

Hi Karen, sorry to hear that. They can be a bit of a nuisance, especially if they're uninvited. Tell your parents to plant rue, lavender, rosemary, or pennyroyal. Cats hate the smell and if your dad is quick enough and catches them in the act he can spray them with a hose pipe to deter them from coming back.
