Everywhere i turn, there is a cat. If i go out the back the first thing i see is a cat running away. If i pull up into the driveway a cat is greeting me in the front stoop. Tonight, i was having dinner with the backdoor open and a cat peaked in almost wanting to come into the house- i guess they smelled the delicious steak i was having!
They **** on my lawn, crawl on top of my daughter's toys and patio furniture. This has grown out of control and i need to do something about it.
My neighbor (who rents illegally) feeds them. My other neighbor built a cat house in the front lawn.
I understand stray cats have to eat, but let them go and find a food source elsewhere.
My neighbors already rallied up in an effort to do something about and trapped the kittens and gave them up for adoption. The older cats i think were also trapped and fixed, but they are back.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to HOW TO KEEP THESE PESTS OUT OF MY PROPERTY?

I have read that things like coffee grounds will keep them away .Try it . Its not a permanent solution but its not that expensive and won't hurt them.

Cats are smart, they know where they'll get food and where they won't. They'll frequent your property less and less as time goes on. Whatever you do, PLEASE don't be one of those rotten people that hurts innocent cats.

Call the town on the illegal apartment to get the renter evicted. This will eliminate the food source so that cats will go elsewhere.

Cats hate getting wet. If you keep a spray bottle handy and squirt them they will learn to stay away.
