Use tin foil<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

This is an easy method to rid your garden of cats. How does it work? Well, cats can hear ultrasonic frequencies that are inaudible to us. High-pitched sounds (e.g., banging metals, jangling keys) are unpleasant for felines.<\/p>\n

Since tin foil can easily rustle when placed outdoors, this will irritate cats so much that they will avoid going into the area where the sound is made. You can make tin foil flags around the garden to get a high-frequency cat deterrent.<\/p>\n

Take note, though, that older or deaf cats may not be as sensitive to these sounds, so this method may not work on them.<\/p>\n

   Try axle grease<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   This thick lubricant is a quick remedy for garden owners who don\u2019t want cats in their garden. Cats avoid sticky substances, as they would have a hard time licking and cleaning their fur if it\u2019s sticky. So, axle grease is the perfect solution to drive cats away.<\/p>\n

   Put axle grease on your garden wall or fence without leaving any gaps that a cat can step on to dodge the sticky grease. You can also use other adhesives, but axle grease has been found to be more durable against sunshine, rain and other elements.<\/p>\n

      Add some pebbles to your garden<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      When cats relieve themselves, they instinctively try to bury their waste. This is their natural response to hide their scent from predators. A good amount of pebbles covering your plot will not only deter cats from turning your garden into a litter box, it can also serve as a decorative feature for your garden. The cat will decide to go somewhere else if it can\u2019t bury its waste in the ground.<\/p>\n

      Remember to only use larger pebbles for this method. Gravel is too fine and can actually  serve as cat litter.<\/p>\n

         Sprinkle some chili or cayenne pepper<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         Since cats have a more advanced sense of smell with about twice as many olfactory cells than humans, you can use this attribute against these feline creatures.<\/p>\n

         Sprinkle cayenne pepper around areas that are frequented by cats, and the irritating smell will surely make them avoid these spots. Of course, as with other scent-based methods, it won\u2019t last too long. You\u2019ll have to diligently replace the peppers after a few hours to get the full effect.<\/p>\n

            Plant some lavender<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Humans may love the scent of this plant, but it actually smells unpleasant for cats. It\u2019s a great solution to keep cats away from your outdoor property.<\/p>\n

            Lavender can grow in almost any part of your garden, whether it\u2019s under direct sunlight or in the shade. So, plant it strategically where the problem areas are. And when you\u2019re mulching, you can add lavender cuttings so that the scent wafts throughout the turf.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            These are just some of the ways you can keep cats out of your garden using easily sourced materials. Try to explore and combine several methods, since cats can respond differently to each one. The good thing about these solutions is that you get to protect your garden without hurting or injuring the felines. It\u2019s definitely a win-win for garden owners and pet owners alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
