Cat Deterrent Talk.? All post of this nature in this thread only.. Humane talk only please.!

Please keep on topic on this thread, it is the only place where cat deterrents can be discussed, so cluttering is not welcome.

 

The admin I mentioned tried that but had not the slightest effect on stopping his cats roaming. They were rather adventurous and it wouldn't have surprised me if they really enjoyed circumventing his methods of stopping them roaming the area.

We use a similar method to keep deer out and it works extremely successfully. Cats are welcome but rabbits and badgers are not. Unfortunately none of them are able to read signs so we do our best in other ways. Spraying our boundary with diluted Jeyes fluid keeps the badgers out . Apparently they can't stand the smell.

 

This is a better option as it can be left to do it's own thing, it's very difficult to get near a cat that strays into our garden and it's often at night.

We have tried ultrasonic scarers but the only thing they put off were the grandchildren, cats didn't bat an eyelid.

 

They emit a high frequency sound which older people can't hear, the grandchildren said it was annoying rather than painful.

 

Yes, it only triggers on squirrels and larger animals moving about.

 

I would possibly have trouble with them as we had to have our burglar alarm readjusted from the standard setting when it was fitted. The engineers said they had to put it on 'dog' setting for me so that dogs can no longer hear it.
