Answer 1

Not a lot, they have never worked for me.

Answer 2

do you know anyone who has a ferret? ferret dung is the best deterrent ever!

Answer 3

I know unwanted cats are a pain - but that's really not a good reason to shoot them - is it??  For more entertaining results catch them with a high pressure water hose - you can get motion activated ones - boy do those cats jump! :-)

Answer 4

Mine is home made.. just take:

1 cup of flour

1/4 cup of dry mustard

1/4 cup of red pepper

1/4 cup of black pepper..

take an old glass jar, punch holes in the cap, carefully pour the

stuff into the jar. Be careful not to inhale!!

Sprinkle around bushes or areas the cat or dog is sniffing.

they will take one sniff start sneezing.. and never come back!

I have used this successfully for years and years.

Answer 5

The best anti-cat product I've used is my terrier!

Answer 6

Do you eat oranges? If so just chop up the pealing and spread them around. Cats hate the smell of the orange citrus acid they will stop coming around. Lots of the cat deterrent products are based on citrus acid or the orange smell.

Answer 7

if you really hate the cats in ya garden why not try putting broken down cork into a bowl of cat food that way they are sure to die just not on youre property.this is what my hubby just told me.i wondered where all the local cats had gone.lol

Answer 8

I use one of those large water pistols from a toy shop that send a stream of water a very long way.It has got to the point where I only have to lift the water pistol,full or not,for any cat that sees it to scarper without finding out if I am bluffing or not.I would never fire the water at it's head though as that could hurt it & I am a cat lover just not a cat pooh lover

Answer 9

I think these could possibly puncture the skin and you may then be charged with cruelty to animals.  It would be a good idea to check with your local humane society to find out what your rights are concerning using a weapon.

I use an empty soda can with about 4 pennies in it.  Whenever a racoon or cat come in the yard I rattle the can and it spooks them away.  They seem to have learned because there are fewer and fewer intruders all the time.

Answer 10

use a live trap.  and take to next towns animal shelter. That way the owner will have a harder time bringing them back.  if you are lucky they will be unclaimed and destroyed.

Answer 11

HAHHAH i was not expecting that lol.
