Keep The Cat Out of Your Home Garden

What better way to see the fruits of their labor, then a garden, right? We spend many hours making sure that all good for fruits and vegetables that have been made more tasty that I grew up.

However, looking through her kitchen window one morning, you notice your neighbor's cat decided to use the backyard for your own personal bedding business. Not angry with the cat (maybe if your neighbor). The cat is the work of their instincts as they have learned they can see a place like where to go, well, they go.

As the owner of the cat trained to do business in an appropriate location, you must train the cat is not a suitable place for your garden. We asked our experts in our Facebook page gardening methods they use to discourage cats their needs in their gardens, and this is what came.

If you love dogs? This seemed a greater consensus for many respondents, is to get a dog so the cat does not know to enter the court. Of course, owning a dog is a great responsibility in many cities around the world, the impact of license, seat belt laws and the list goes on. So keep this in mind if this is the way you want.

A number of people have suggested the use of cocoa as a natural mulch for cats and even though I have not read the Scientific Studies Suggest That people who do not do this post, pretended That worked very well, and someone wrote that the made snail problem.

The method of choice next to discourage cats is sprayed pepper flakes on and around the area where you can see the cat tried to do its thing. However, they wrote in their application of this method, said after a rain, it is necessary to replenish the source. In other words, put more hot pepper flakes.

There are also a number of devices that have been raised in conversation. He said most of the compensation to the garden. This allows plants to receive sunlight, water and nutrients they need and at the same time keep the chats. Another popular feature, though it has not been named, is an electronic device that emits a sound that is unusual for humans, But apparently not very popular with the neighborhood cats. You do a Google search on these devices to see what works best for you.

Last but not least, but the last time for a reason, has been to contact the local SPCA or the department of animal control cage rental and take the cat. Like dogs, cats have rules to follow, so your neighbor can not let their cats roam around. I left this for last, because this should be a last resort, after all this has failed. If you do not want to create a war with his neighbor about something that can be treated differently. However, if you've tried everything, then go in that direction. The local animal control will notify your neighbors about it.

Cats are great animals, no doubt. But I will not interfere with your home garden and certainly do not want their business. Try the above to ensure you can avoid causing problems.
