About trouble with cats
Last update date August 9, 2023
Are you having trouble with cat manure?
Have you ever had a problem, such as cats entering the garden and having trouble planting or excrement, giving birth kitten under a storeroom or house floor, or being hurting a car? Unfortunately, there is currently no decisive way to prevent cats from intrusion. Here are some methods that can reduce cat damage as much as possible and are relatively effective.
None of these methods are necessarily effective. Cats also have their own personality, and sometimes they get used to effective measures. Don't give up and try various methods repeatedly.
Points to note when trying
- Please note that if you use medicine, the smell may cause your cat to lose your cat's nose or cause complaints from your neighborhood.
- Depending on the material used, it may damage the plants and flowers in the flowerbed. When using it around plants, use it after watching the situation in a small amount before using it, or put it in a container.
- Be careful not to put water in a plastic bottle that you often see and place it side by side, as it may cause a fire due to the lens effect of sunlight.
- In either case, it is assumed that the cat first carefully, determine the path and time of day, etc., and do it without the cat feeding area near.
How to make it harder to walk
- Install thorny sheets and tortoise shell wire mesh without gaps in the approach path and excretion area.
※Double layering makes it more effective.
How to sow repellents
- Dilute wood vinegar, edible vinegar, chlorine bleach, toothpaste paste, peppermint oil, etc. with water and spray, or soak in a rags or sponge and place them in the passage.
- Put the citrus skin in a mesh bag and hang it upwind.
- Plant herbs such as geranium, lemongrass, and mint, or tearing leaves and spray.
- Install a commercial repellent.
