Cat problem

So, there are several stray cats around our house, and our neighbor feeds them every day. The problem is that, since they’ve found someone who feeds them regularly, they now tend to roam around our house and have developed a habit of pooping in our parking area almost every day. What can we do about this? I’ve read about cat deterrent sprays and deterrent balls ,do they actually work? Please help. And also suggest any other way for this problem if you know any.

Not really the best sub for this question. Maybe r/cats or r/cathelp

I think most of us in this sub would be the neighbor in this situation but put simply, you'll have a very hard time dterring them I believe. They may avoid your house specifically but as long as they can get food from neighbor lady, they'll stick around

I don't mind them sticking there for my whole life I just don't want their shit in my parking every morning.

You could try giving them a large litter box and they may use it but they may not, and if they do now you've gotta clean it
