DebsB...  bleach is not the same as ammonia

[/QUOTE]

Whoops, of course it isn't, two completely different chemicals. I'm thinking of the smell I've always associated with bleach/chlorine etc and I've always called it ammonia smelling, so that's probably not a correct description, is it? Anyway, that scent always encouraged my cat to spray in that area I'd cleaned with it, and when I used warm water and white vinegar, he stopped.

Thanks for all the info girls, I am going to give the pepper idea a go and then might try that spray stuff, they seem to like our path at the moment so I cannot stick stakes etc. in there...if I could I would.

Luckily the courgettes and cucumber have taken over our vege garden so they cannot get in there!
