DIY Granule-based Cat Repellent Recipe

Question

Problem: cats defecating on lawn Question: Is there a DIY/homemade recipe for a granular based repellent that I cans sprinkle on my lawn to deter the cat? I’ve used the commercially sold products (Repel, Cat-Away,etc.), and while they seem to be effective, they can be expensive when used on a frequent basis. I’m thinking of a humane, scent related solution that I could mix into a medium (sand, sawdust, etc.), but could use some help. Thank you!
