Throw citrus fruit peels around plants. Cats dislike the strong citrusy smell of oranges, limes and lemons.
Citrus Scents
Place thorny rose bush prunings or pine cone mulch around gardens to discourage digging and using as litter boxes
Spiky Prunings
Install motion detector sprinklers that temporarily spray water when cats enter - they learn to avoid!
Scare Sprinklers
Lion dung spray mimics predator scent and frightens cats away from treated yard and garden areas.
Lion Poop
Spread fresh coffee grounds which cats dislike walking on. Musty smells also help mask inviting garden aromas.
Coffee Grounds
Sprinkle mixes of cat repellent essential oils like lavender, lemongrass, citronella and eucalyptus.
Essential Oils
Row covers, small greenhouses, mesh nets over plants protect them while hampering cat access.
