Some of the issues include cats pooping in areas of your lawn, digging up flowerbeds and other areas of the garden, as well as fighting and causing so much noise and disturbance. Pet poo can actually be toxic and cause soil de-fertilisation, hence hindering the growth of grass and plants in future. Moreover, if cats keep pooping on your lawn, you will find it hard to keep it appealing no matter how much effort you put. How to dispose of cat poo in the garden?

Silent Roar are actually fertiliser pellets that have been soaked in the real essence of lion dung and dried. The idea is that cats enter the area where the pellets have been spread and smell the scent of a larger cat (the lion). They then see this area as marked by another larger cat and move on to find another area. This makes sense because this is how cats and lions scent their territory to warn off other cats. Our recommendation The main downside to ultrasonic frequencies is that some people are able to hear them. This generally only happens when the frequency is set too low, but those with very sensitive hearing may find the sound unpleasant. Having tried the PRINCESSK Cat Repellent Garden Ultrasonic in my own garden, I found it to be an effective solution for driving away unwanted animals like cats, dogs, and wild boars. The device has 5 sensitivity modes that can target specific animal species and deter them with varying frequencies. The Pestbye® Battery Operated Cat Repellent are a set of ultrasonic cat deterrents with a slightly different design compared to many others on the market.

It’s a little fiddly, but it can be secured in the ground with tent pegs or something similar. They can be trimmed to size or connected which I like so you can cover a larger garden area if needed. I also take into consideration how long the repellent lasts before needing to be reapplied. It’s important to choose a product that offers longer-lasting protection against cats, which is convenient and, in the long run, more cost-effective.

Make sure they are non-toxic and animal safe – chemicals should really only be considered as a last resort.
