Cats - how to deter them from my garden and veggie plot
2.6K Posts


Can someone please advise on a cat deterrent that works? I have been using cat pepper and going through tubs of it, but its not helping and is costing a fortune.
Many thanks.

I used canes and netting a foot high around my veg to deter pigeons. It worked a treat.
More aesthetic and expensive would be a willow fence a foot high. Or you could make one yourself. It doesn't have to be solid, just a weave every couple of inches.
