    Cat deterrents

    Since moving in with Mrs CRM her house is now our house, her garden is now our garden, which means that I have a greater interest in getting rid of the dirty cats that cr@p all over the flowerbeds, lawn, even concrete paths sometimes. Anyone have any suggestions short of trapping the things and releasing them onto a busy motorway?

    sprinkle chilli powder over they areas where they do their needs. They hate the smell apparently.

    Orange peel as well apparently.

    Can vouch for the chilli powder, never tried the orange peel though !

    Re: Cat deterrents

    I've heard of all kinds of solutions including human urine, but none of them seem to work. Where I used to live we had a small zoo up the road and our neighbours tried using tiger poo as that's meant to work, but it didn't.
    The only thing I've ever known to work, is having a cat. In all the years I had a cat, we never once had a problem (the neighbours without cats did though!) .

    Sounds like the solution would be worse than the problem? (I cleaned out a tiger's cage once - not the sort of stuff I'd want to put on my garden...)

    i can vouch for the supersoaker. Great fun trying to hit them off the back garden fence when they stop coming into the garden.

    The silent roar pellets are soaked in real essence of lion dung and are then dried and sterilised.
    Definitely sounds less messy than tiger poo from the local zoo!
