Hi. 

 

Some of our driveway is bark with native "weeds" in it, and recently the cats have been defecating in the bark, which attracts flies and smells awful. 

 

How can I discourage them from "going" in this area? I heard a bottle of water on the lawn stops dogs.. Doubt the same thing works with cats though.

The only way I know of for stopping cats defecating in a particular spot is to sprinkle fish food in the area. A cat won't poop where it's just been feeding. The offending cats lick the fish flakes off, then go look elsewhere for a dumping ground. You need to sprinkle every few weeks or so. My mother has had success with this technique in planter boxes, and other small path side plots etc.
