Anyone got any tips for keeping cats out of your garden? Normally my looks are enough to scare pussy away but there are now two keeping coming in and trying (with some success) to catch the birds

You can get a motion detector attached to a hose pipe which has the added benefit of being able to boast to your mates that you've had a wet pussy in your garden if you're going without

If I could have a dog I would have a whole pack of them by now, all shapes and sizes, but not fair to leave them all day while at work

I have three big dogs that do the job. They have mastered knocking cats off the top of fences now.

One sat up on then fence top washing itself and basically cat taunting them. My biggest then hurled himself against the fence and sent the cat flying. Luckily for the cat it wasn’t flung back into the garden.

I’ve heard citrus peel in flower beds works for a non dog method.

The earlier you break the habit, the better. They are territorial and dislike and are deterred by a number of things - scents are a good deterrent, as well as disrupting their habit, however you can.

Find their route and make it impossible to keep using it. Barriers, or something unpleasant to them. Add strong smells onto anything they'd walk over.

Remove their waste, as it will retain their scent. Clean it away, using water, to reduce any remnants of smell.

Barriers could be anything they'll not be able to go through. Add barriers onto the ground they use for the toilet - use thorny bush cut-offs: anything like blackberry stems, rose briars etc. They won't want to walk on it or scratch in it, to go to the loo.

If they're walking on fences, something greasy will be unpleasant.

Coleus canina is a tender plant, good for summer, which has a smell that usually deters them. You could use unpleasant smells, from sources that are totally safe for all wildlife and pets: check around your cupboards for stuff that you know smells, read labels for safety.

With enough prickly twigs cut into smaller pieces, laid over ground, stuck up etc, then it will make your soil either inaccessible or very unattractive to want to use it. Beware of any cut pieces of stems rooting in the soil and you gaining an invasion of thorny plants that you don't need!

There are sound emitters, triggered on movement, that deter animals - obviously more expensive still. Similarly, there are motion triggered automatic watering systems, that will deter too: usually even more expensive.

I have a lemon tree, lots of fruit on it atm. Next doors cat arrived just after midnight - he'd evaded capture, whilst they were up. He brushed against it, there was no deterrent from the plant.

Though cats hate most smells that are strong: experiment around the garden, with small amounts of SAFE smelly stuff.

Can get cat repellent pellets at garden centre, but rain washes it away in time. Ive a sonic cat repeller powered by a mains adaptor. Neither is 100% guaranteed, in time the cats get fed up of the deterrents and stop coming in

Chop down every tree, bush or bit of greenery in your garden, burn the bird bath and/or table.

Concrete everything over and grease anywhere a bird could sit.

With the food source removed the cats have no reason to come into your garden hunting

Many years ago I was working on a RAF base doing work on the houses.

I had my van parked up with doors open.

At the end of the day I loaded my tools back in and shut the doors.

Drive off, a few miles up the road I could hear a right racket in the van.

Luckily I hadn't joined the motorway and there was a large layby.

I pulled in and opened the side door and a cat launched it's at me and promptly ran off (thankfully) into a large Field rather than into the road.

But disappeared into the distance away from home.

Leaving shit and piss all over my tool's.

I tried to find out who owned it next day but no luck.

Needless to say that is one kitty that won't be climbing into the back of an open van quickly again.

I always check my van before shutting doors.

Also under the bonnet in the winter they like to climb into the engine bay.

Locate all the entrance they use to gain access to your garden. Get the hottest peppers and grind them down. Cake the areas they come and go through in it.

By their very nature they will sniff the area to see if the coast is clear. When they do, they will run for the hills. A few times and they won't come back again. I did this when I was a lil kid around 12. Worked.
