cats are a nightmare one has just killed a friendly blackbird who has visited our garden over the last few yerrs and nested each year here, do these electric high pitched gadgets work? but do they affect dogs ears as well?? keep looking at them but not convinced yet??? anyone tried them?
We used to have problems with cats, we got a dog now no more cat -------no more garden either but strangle they get the idea not to come in to our garden perhaps you could get a friend who has a dog to visit and play in your garden leave their smell and just maybe the cats might think you have a dog.are cats that stupid.
My neighbour uses Jeyes Fluid mixed in her soil this really smells but again she has gotten over the cat problem
Well, i use mothballs, i have to buy them online but they do work, chicken manure didnt work for us either.
As to Brenda's mice problem, well a rat catcher told us once that you have to put the mice poison down in little patches a few inches apart as they feed while on the run apparently, we put ours behind the skirting or kick boards in the kitchen, so my dog wont get near them - we've got a rehomed greyhouund that scared stiff of cats. Also in the kitchen keep a mug of water or something heavy over the plug hole at night when you go to bed, that stops them coming up from the drain.
There is a plant called scaredy cat you can buy it from most garden centres.C urry didnt work neither did the gel that smells of garlic, also citrus peel didnt work
Since no-one has mentioned it. There is a gadget on the market which you plug into the mains (There are battery operated ones too) which sends out a high pitch sound which distracts cats from coming into the garden.
Place in the garden at about three feet off the ground, ie a post or fence.
I have a few in and around my garden and I find they work a treat.
Hi Fonzie - can you tell us the name of this product? Thanks
I have heard of the Gadget that deters cats and believe they work very well, your poor dog I bet the cats love to wind him up, when our lab was a pup she loved everything, however one night a cat jumped out at me while walked April,and she hide behind my lugs I shouted at the cat as it clawed deep into my leg, after that she just has to see a cat and she is gone after it, or the mention of the word cats, and she is gone into the garden, not suggesting you sacrifice your leg, but what have the cats done to him.
My best defence of having other cats visit my garden is to have my own cat. She is very territorial so does not appreciate other cats visiting the garden and soon sees (quite ferociously) other cats off. And she is way too posh to toilet in the garden, so she has a covered litter tray with its own little cat flap for privacy in the utility room. She gave up chasing birds several years ago and now just turns her tail when they start squawking at her from the bird feeder. She runs wide of the hedgehogs. They obviously have history!

I'm not sure if Catwatch ( recommended by The RSPB) is the device that Rockette has used. The manufacturers are UK based see www.conceptresearch.co.uk
It comes with a 90 day money back so it might be worth calling them...
