I have had a huge problem with feral cats for a few years now so I totally understand.
I actually managed to get a cat catcher who took away the babies (they were a couple of weeks old) and rehomed them. The female cat was then neutered and after that the number of cats dropped considerably.
I didn't realise but the male cats follow the female cat around (looking for sex). Females can have several litters each year which of course adds to the problem.
Getting the female neutered is the best solution.
I tried all sorts of smelly things, spikes, water. The lion stuff, ultosonic but none of it works.
The lady that caught the cats used a trap which was left out overnight. Don't expect instant results they are pretty cunning.
