Cat Deterrent?

Why not get a cat of your own?

Lions Roar which is lion poo, you can buy it on Amazon & it deters the cats as they think it is another bigger cat's patch.

black pepper sounds daft but we used to have this trouble but the pepper worked a treat hasnt done it for years now

Citronella is the active ingredient in citrus peel that puts them off and can be bought in little bottles. Alternatively (although more expensive) change the grade of gravel in your yard to one that is a) larger or b) sharper.

My friend has 2 cats and her garden is always full of other peoples cats, I don't think it works as a deterant.

My neighbours cat seems to have taken a fancy to using the gravel outside my house as a litter tray.
Does anybody know what I can use to try and stop it going there?

Thanks

Get one of these puppies

i used to have 5 cats in my younger stupid days lol but our cats never "went" in our garden but all the neighbours cats did and someone told me to place mothballs around the gargen.you can buy them for under a £1 from local chemists and half bury therm so they dont roll away.we always found that worked great
my mum had same problem but this didnt work as well for her

would be worth trying

Moth balls are also good for getting rid of moles

Garlic is the cheapest way I have found and it works. We live in an area that has a few cats and they loved to use my garden as a litter tray, no more.

So anyways just buy some cloves of garlic, chop it into small bits (small as you can) then sprinkle round the garden. I assure you it works, it has for me and we never get cats in our garden. The smell of the garlic is strong, hence why the cats wont use it as a litter tray.
You may have to redo it again in a few months if another cat decides to use your garden but I dont find that a problem, soon as I see a cats been in my garden I treat the area and hey presto cats go somewhere else.

That just proves what I've thought for a while - cats are evil try a crucifix and mean looking stakes or spray them with holy water!
