If you have a garden, you may come with an unpleasant problem: neighborhood cats walk around your garden like at home, leave odorous marks, sharpen their claws on fruit trees and sometimes even use the beds as a tray. How to drive the cats away from the land area? There are several methods that will scare away strangers.
Wet earth and automatic watering
Being spotless animals, cats will never get their paws dirty in damp soil. Water the beds regularly, and other cats will encroach on them. Cats are also well repelled by automatic sprinklers with a motion sensor. Any pet passing by will get an unpleasant shower and will bypass your garden next time.

Cats have a strong sense of smell, and pungent odors can scare them away. In forbidden areas, you can use sprays of citrus, citronella, lavender, peppermint, lemongrass or rosemary oil mixed with water. Sprays with vinegar, hot pepper or garlic also give some effect.
If you are not a supporter of domestic methods, use professional sprays. Modern UK industry offers numerous products that act as a cat repellent. The products are available in the form of aerosols and in granular form. For home use, aerosol is the most effective, but in order to drive animals from the beds, it is worth making a choice in favor of pellets. They are scattered in places that the fuzzies have chosen as a toilet.

Try to hang bells near the garden, which set in motion gusts of wind, or bells that are sensitive to movement. A noise repeller can also be made with your own hands, for example, by pouring small pebbles into jars that will rattle when the cat approaches.
