Janus   28 #2 Posted November 18, 2018 Have not used this but seen it on flea bay. Probably available other places as well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Get-Off-My-Garden-Cat-Dog-Repellent-640g-Discourages-Stops-Fowling-On-Lawns/231842671363 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Moonbird   10 #4 Posted November 18, 2018 If they are empty cant you just put a piece of wood over them till you need them next so that the cats cant get in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Janus   28 #5 Posted November 18, 2018 There is another cat remedy but a bit more expensive than my original suggestion. https://www.pets4homes.co.uk/images/breeds/14/large/ccdcbc22e2f623cb04816e928e4611bf.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Goldhead   10 #8 Posted November 21, 2018 I fold chicken wire over the top. This also discourages squirrels from digging up bulbs. The temptation to connect the wire to the mains has been resisted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

nikki-red   308 #11 Posted November 21, 2018 Used coffee grounds are supposed to deter cats. Starbucks give away  bags of the stuff (the one near M&S in Meadowhall does anyway). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mayfly182   10 #12 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Lots of pointy sticks, stuck into the soil so that 2" shows above the surface. You have to plant them quite thickly but it really does work, and it's free.  Easier to work around plants than chicken wire, and lasts longer than the scent based repellents which tend to wear off when it rains.
