Product Information

There are a few different ways to humanely repel cats. These include ultrasonic cat repellents, LED lights, specific scents, unpleasant surfaces and chemical repellents. You’ll find more information on these below. The Defenders Cat and Dog Scatter Granules offer a simple method that works well to deter both cats and dogs. These granules are biodegradable, coated with garlic to produce a strong smell that cats dislike. They’re one of the best cat repellents if you’re after a simple, spreadable option (this one specifically is garlic-based). As cats are skittish by nature, there are several viable options for keeping them from going to town all over your garden, some more effective than others. If you find yourself going through a lot of oranges, lemons and limes, a completely free option can be spreading the peels around your garden, as the strong citrus smell is very unpleasant for cats. If you don’t generally amass a collection of citrus fruit peels, then this probably won’t be cost-effective for you, and you’re better off opting for one of the following methods: Taking away a cat’s source of enjoyment will mean they no longer have a reason to enter your garden. Make sure there are no scraps of food left on the ground. For example, crumbs that have fallen out of bird feeders. These will attract rats, and rats will attract cats. Ultrasonic cat repellents have been shown to reduce the probability of a cat entering the garden by up to 32%, while also reducing the time the cat spends in the garden by 38%.

Given that the base ingredient is pepper, this product gives an alternative option to citronella or garlic products. If you find that you don’t like the smell of garlic or citronella, or haven’t found those products to be effective, this gives an alternative option to try. Designed to be left out in the UK weather, these cat repellents are both waterproof and dustproof; they have an IP44 rating. The only thing required in terms of maintenance is changing the batteries when they run out; however, the battery life is a reasonable four months (if the unit is activated an average of 10 times per day).

Ultrasound repellents are all well and good for an empty garden, but any hutched animals you keep outside can set off the sensors and will be made uncomfortable by the frequencies. In this case, you’re better off going with PestBye’s Jet Spray which, if positioned facing away from the hutches, will keep your garden clear without impacting your pets. The Stelucca Amazing Shields Cat Scratch Deterrent is a highly effective, chemical-free cat deterrent designed to protect upholstered furniture pieces from becoming your cat's manicurists. The scent isn’t as strong as some other repellents so it will need quite regular reapplication. It’s also quite lightweight so can scatter more than intended in windy weather.

Consider how much space you’re trying to protect and whether you’ll need to treat the area just once, daily or weekly. Are you trying to keep feral cats from using your flowerbed as a litter box or just trying to keep your tenacious kitty off your grandmother’s antique chair? Some cat repellents are designed to cover small areas—a few feet, at most—while others can cover up to 3,000 square feet or more. Some can be applied just once (thoroughly) while others require multiple, consistent applications to truly break the habit.
