I love cats! What is there not to like about them? Oh maybe when they mess in your yard…. But let me tell you something — there are ways to keep them away from your yard for good. Want to know something even better? When the pet in question belongs elsewhere, then the frustrations and annoyance escalate to all-new high levels. If it is not tamed early, stray cats become a threat to birds and other small domestic animals. Besides that, cat poo contains the toxoplasmosis-causing parasite which can be fatal to human health.
The challenge people face when dealing with stray cats, however, is how to repel them without harming both the animal and their relationship with neighbors. The rule of thumb among predators is that intruders are never welcome in marked territories. Keeping a male dog or a cat which is hostile to others is a sure way of making your yard unattractive to stray cats. For a few bucks, you can acquire dog urine from your local vet, which you then sprinkle around your garden to make stray cats think that there is a dog around.
Cats also hate the smell of citrus , lemons, garlic, oranges and vinegar among other household items. You can choose to buy ready to use scented cat repellents or if you have the recipe, make some at home.
It is therefore good to regularly sprinkle the repellents. The Green Gobbler All Natural Orange spray is not actually marketed as a cat repellent, but if you look at the reviews you will see it does a very effective job in keeping them away. It smells great too. Ultrasonic deterrents are designed to detect body heat and small movements, triggering unpleasant ultrasounds from the alarm.
They are expensive — they cost anything up to a few hundred dollars from your local hardware store. Place them strategically around your garden so that the signal sounds only when movements are made in the garden. After getting the same experience for several visits, unwanted feline visitors start keeping away.
The Humutan Ultrasonic Repellent is reasonably priced, easy to use and effective at keeping cats, dogs, mice and other animals away from your yard. C ats hate the smell of plants such as lavender, thorny roses, geranium, and coleus canina. Planting them in and around your garden, therefore, makes the cats equally hate the area. Such plants are not harmful to either humans or animals and are beautiful for the general outlook of your landscape.
This is particularly the best cat repellent technique to use if the cats are scratching your garden plants. Erecting a low-voltage electric fence around your garden is enough to keep feline visitors at bay. An excellent example of such a fence is a battery-powered wire placed a few inches above the ground.
If you opt to use this strategy, however, it is essential that you put clear signs around the yard that will alert people not to step on the wire. If you have young children, you will need to ensure that they stay away from the garden, too. If the surface is too hard for them to dig or too rough for their skin, then they will be forced to find alternatives.
You can make the surface sharp or hard by placing stones, pebbles, heavy buck mulch , or protruding toothpicks planted about inches apart. Because cats hate wet surfaces, keeping your yard moist at all times will also do the magic. Cats get scared by light reflections at night especially if they are seeing them for the first time. Make such deterrents at home by stringing together unwanted CDs or half-full plastic bottles and hanging them about four inches from the ground, all around your garden.
Because it is neither smelly nor dangerous to humans, this is a good cat deterrent strategy to consider for areas close to your house. The disadvantage of this approach, on the other hand, is that it becomes obsolete the moment your regular feline visitor gets used to the new environment. An alternative to this is to designate an area for your cat where you can plant cat-friendly plants such as valerian and catnip.
Once it relocates from the flowerbed, sprinkle ordinary white vinegar on your garden to wash its scent and discourage it from ever going back to the former territory. You can use a low-powered water hose to spray cats out of your garden during the day.
To ensure that intruding cats are kept at bay around the clock, buy motion-activated sprinklers with three-seconds spray pulses, and position them strategically around the yard. Such sprinklers are available at your local hardware and come with installation guides. Chicken wire fences are impassable for cats but climbable.
You should, therefore, make sure that the fence is more than six feet high and is too slippery for the cat smearing it with grease or Vaseline makes it slippery. If your garden is small , a metallic cage will do. I love cats, but am fully aware that they can be a pain if they make your backyard their home, so whatever you do, as you work towards repelling stray cats from your property, always remember that they have their rights and are loved by their owners.
Choose the method that will not harm the animal and avoid an unnecessary feud with your neighbor or even worse court charges and penalties!
I never grew up with cats because my mom was severely allergic. During our first month of moving to our country home we caught around 10 mice in the home. The cats did a good job getting rid of them. Since that time we have lost all 4 cats while living byn the highway. Our neighbors cat has now adopted our family and I felt bad for it so I started feeding it. It has since become our porch cat. I understand how much of a nuisance cats can be.
I was watching a documentary where they were trying to determine the most ferocious feline killer. They decided on the cat because it is the only feline that hunts for fun. If I ever want to deter cats in the future I will definitely look at following your suggestions.
