Cat Repellent?
- Thread starter GWguy
- Start date
I'm not sure about actual cat repellants, but we have a Motion Activated Scarecrow we put by our pond to keep the birds from eating out koi. Perhaps you could set one up for a week or so at that corner and if it works, they'll remember and avoid that area :shrug: It's quite pricey to just scare a cat though..

You might try a motion activated lawn sprinkler. I can't remember where I saw them but you should be able to find one online.
CrystalClear
yea, clear as mud
If you find something that works
Let me know. Have the same problem. We tried a product from Petco. Supposed to be wolf pee, (scares them off?). Quite expensive and you have to reapply often. Cost about $13. It worked, but not for long.

A dog makes a great cat repellent.

Did some searching on the Interwebz. Seems essential oils are used to make repellants, like citrus, peppermint, eucalyptus, etc... Found this recipe and think I'll give it a try. Fraction of the cost of the pre-made stuff.

Now I just have to find someone local that sells essential oils. Shouldn't be too tough.

or a neighbor
Well, therein is the issue.... I believe (but not around to confirm so I can't make waves) that my neighbor's cat is the offender. I'm on good terms the all my neighbors and want to keep it that way, otherwise the BB gun would be used....

I only use a BB gun on the kids next door... when the mom isnt looking.. (hell... i even use it on her fat arse when she isnt paying atten. to the kids! she things its a bee that just stung her!) 
but never a kitty!!

Don't get upset... I have a heart. I just aim real close and scare them. Helps if there is something nearby like a can that makes lots of noise when it gets hit.

oohh Im not upset.... Dont get me wrong.. I would have laid a bb in my neighbors dogs arse if I had a chance! 
I wouldnt have taken a chance to scare it! This dog will charge you and has come after my dogs and myself as Im loading my dogs in the van! if the scare tactic works... good! cats are no threat! But a 70-80lb Rottie coming at ya.... I will do what I have to do what ever to keep everyone safe! 
I know you have a heart!!

My mom used moth balls to keep the neighbors cat out of the garden, but after a google search- I'm now aware it's toxic!
I did find this though...Keeping Cats Out of the Garden | Care2 Healthy & Green Living
Specifically this:
2. This mixture is easy to make and can be used anywhere you want to repel cats (or groundhogs, for that matter):
2 parts cayenne pepper
3 parts dry mustard
5 parts flour
Simply mix together and sprinkle.

Snatch them suckers up and take them to get snipped. There are low cost places that will run around $70 which is probably cheaper than what you'll spend over the entire spring/summer trying to repel them. I did it with a couple the winter before last and haven't seen hide nor hair of them since.

You could but you should probably do it to the neighbors so you can keep the kid population under control!

Don't know if you could do it with the kids but it sure sounds like mama fat arse needs it!
