Dont get me wrong, I love animals BUT it seems the local wandering cats have decided to use the rock path at the front of my house as a kitty litter tray. They are digging little holes everywhere and pooping in them. Anyone know a safe and humane way to repel these little baggers and stop them pooping on my path?
LOL that video was hilarious, see the cat run when it gets sprayed looks like a sure repellant, I just dont know if I could afford $130 atm though.
But I will definately try the moth ball idea banoras (dont have any on hand but will pick some up when I go shopping) and I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks so much for the suggestions. I was hoping for a natural repellant, maybe a plant or herb that they dont like???
Mothballs are good. The camphor oil scent does the trick, but will have to be replaced after rain.
PLEASE don't use mothballs. They are extremely toxic to cats and dogs. Even if the cat 'batts' the mothball then licks it's paws it's still highly dangerous.
You want to repel the cats, not make them suffer a cruel death.
Pepper sprinkled on the steps worked here. It had to be replaced regularly but it is relatively cheap and only needs to be used for a short time....until the cats get the message.
Hi Secondhand, I have a lot of birds coming into my yard but the cat from a few doors up decided they were going to be it's own personal buffet. Sick to death of selfish, inconsiderate cat owners letting their mangy felines wander around killing anything they fancy. I seriously considered a cat trap from my local Council and it could take it's chances from there, lol. Anyway found I could buy cat and dog repellent in a spray also similar thing that comes in granules. They contain citronella amongst other ingredients which both cats and dogs find offensive. The application of the stuff has to be repeated every 3 to 4 days and after rain. I've only used it in the last couple of days and today it's raining so don't know yet how it will work out. I have sprayed and sprinkled along the fenceline and near the trees where the local feathered boys and girls congregate.
