It works with rats anyhow. big un 08-12-2009, 23:51 Save your used tea bags,dry them,then put a few drops of Olbas oil on and place them where the cats go. Failing that, chicken wire all round the perimeter and the hedge through to disguise it.I hate cats! Dog owners clear up after thier pets,yet cat owners get away with thier pets fouling neighbours gardens and destroying plants not to mention killing birds. not one good thing about them. unispear10 12-01-2010, 15:37 Apparently spreading pepper around the edges of your garden will deter them as they do not like the smell. Strong peppers like mustard powder will work best grasscutter 14-01-2010, 23:22 Cayene pepper works every time jimmy62alan 06-06-2011, 18:38 if you grate orange peel and have quite a bit of it, make it into a paste and put it a long fence tops and walls you should not get any further problems. If you do, put another coating on the fences and walls. I used this around my aviaries years ago, I got the tip off an old bloke that kept birds. ALAN sskirrrow 06-06-2011, 22:24 Coleus canina - Scaredy cat plant is supposed to work. Never tried it, but it stinks and we sell loads of it. Chez2 07-06-2011, 05:53 Don't leave bare, freshly hoed soil. Cats like the bare soil to use as a litter tray. Plant your garden with shrubs and perennials to keep it full and the cats won't be able to find bare soil to dig up and poop in. Plant your veg garden to the max too. It also means you don't have to do any weeding.

Doesn't work. The cat from up the street even smashes through the magnetic cat flap to get in the house! |
