Whether you are a lover of felines or if you do not want them to go to your garden, surely you have ever wondered how to make cat repellent. And it is that, there are places that it is important that they do not approach, since they could put their own life in danger.
In the market there are several cat repellants, some more advisable than others, but we are going to tell you what you can do so that your cats (or those of your neighbors) do not get closer to those areas where you do not want them to go.
Cats are magnificent jumpers, being able to jump heights of up to two meters. Taking this into account, the first thing I recommend is that you put metallic fabrics, and that also put up some tall fast growing plants (like cypress or Syringa vulgaris for example) to act as a hedge. It may take time to get the "plant barrier" to form, so in the meantime, try these tricks:
- Plant lavenders, rosemary and / or citronella in your garden or in pots: cats do not like the smell they give off, so they will approach them.
- Put some citrus: They also dislike the smell, but these trees also have edible fruits, so, after having enjoyed a great meal, you can have an exquisite and very healthy dessert.
- Sprinkle some pepper, dry mustard, or coffee grounds- You can even combine a few to keep cats away.
- You like cats? Offer them a little corner in your garden: plant catnip and you'll see how they will only get close to it.
Cats are naughty little guys who don't see the world like we do. People know that "this is our house" because it has walls that we recognize as our own. But the territory of cats can include the gardens of several houses, so make them understand that they can only enter yours, it may take time.
Therefore, I recommend that you have a lot of patience. Only then will you get positive results, for both of you. Cheer up.
