I have heard of motion detectors and sprinklers used for
cats. Don't know what effect they would have on wildlife.
Although it is an aggravation, live trapping and turning
them over the the Humane Society or other group is best.
Turning them loose again is just moving the problem to
another area, if they don't find their way back. Especially
with feral cats.
My problem is my neighbor's grand kids that live next to
him. They destroyed every bird nest built on my property
last year. I caught them in my tree with a huge hedge
trimmer trying to cut off a limb that held a bird nest.
If it starts again this year, I'm putting up video
cameras to catch them then turn in the tapes to the
Sheriff. Their dad knows the game warden well so I doubt
calling him will do anything.
