SSPDaily has prepared several life hacks on how to eliminate the problem with cats on the site. Learn about effective methods to scare them away from your own territory without harming them.
A simple cat repellent
A mixture of water and citrus essential oils can be sprayed around the perimeter of the property. Cats don't like the scent of citrus, so it effectively repels them. In addition, scattering coffee grounds or orange peels in the garden can discourage them from entering further.
Installing an irrigation system
To deter cats, you can install a motion-activated watering system in your yard. When the cat enters the detector's range, it launches a jet of water that scares it and encourages it to stay away. This humane method is effective and does not harm animals.
Natural repellents
A natural life hack for scaring cats away is to plant lavender or mint in the garden. The strong aroma of these plants acts as a natural deterrent, while providing an aesthetically pleasing design.
