How to keep cats out of your garden
The reason cats enter your garden or other areas to poop and urinate is because your home is more comfortable for them than any other place in the surrounding area.
A comfortable place for a cat is a place where there are few people coming in and out and there is no guard dog, so it is quiet and safe. It's a place where you can easily get it even if you don't have it." In order to prevent cats from coming, it is important to change the environment, but it is quite difficult to actually change.
The following methods are said to be relatively effective. If you don't want to keep cats away, please try it once.
Note 1: Cat repellent measures must be taken on your own premises.
Note 2: There are individual differences depending on the cat, and the effect may not appear. note that.

- Some have a strong smell and some are colored. In advance, let's explain to the neighbors.

Obstacle
For cats, it is a way to make it difficult to walk or intrusion.
Even if you don't implement it on the entire surface, if the entrance is limited, try installing it in that place first.

Spread a large piece of gravel with corners. |

If you spread it over a place where bulbs and seeds are planted, they will not be dug up. |
|
holly leaves |
Place holly leaves or sprigs with leaves here and there. |
|

Place a stone in a position where you cannot walk physically. |
|
prickly prickly sheet |
It is sold at home centers and garden stores. Even if you don't cover the entire surface, you can spread it to a width that you can't jump over. |
|
Adhesive tape |
Place the sticky side of the gummed tape or double-sided tape facing up. (Because the soles of the feet don't like stickiness) Replace when the adhesive strength drops. |
|

If you lay it down, your nails will get caught and it will be difficult to walk. |
|
Aluminum foil |
I don't like it because it makes footsteps sound when I put it on. |
|
net or fence |
Enclose with a net of impassable height (about 1.5 m), fence, or block access. |
|
| Tegus | Put a line such as a fishing line on the entrance or the passage so that the cat's foot can get caught. Cats can't see the fishing line, so they don't like the feeling of being touched. | |
| disposable chopsticks | Stand in an aisle or flower bed. | |
Soft soil can easily become a litter box for cats, so you can also cover it with tiles or concrete. However, some cats do not.
