they dont like lemon either and big cat poo will make them stay away so stick a few tiger/lion poos in your garden! (im not joking if you live near a zoo they will probably give you some)

my only problem with cats is mine trying to eat my seedlings lol

I will defo try this with the spray. I have found the only thing really effective for my garden is canes laid criss-crossed about. They don't like the feel of them under their feet.

I use the garlic repellent granules and decided to see if the cats really hated it... made the cat sniff it and she just looked at me like 'what, that's supposed to be nasty to me'? lol

Thanks for that selfraising I've been covering my soil areas with tent pegs and chopped up garlic so I'll have to give citronella oil a try.

Do you remember the quantities of each self-raising?

Will it harm the plants?

Just ready bought citronella oil, really cheap stuff from Homebase etc. and poured into spray bottle, no mixing. The non edibles have had a spraying of it without any harm so far. Not sure about the edibles but I tend to spray around the edge of the raised beds and not over the crops. Thinking about it, I wonder if you could make your own with vegetable oil and lemon juice????

a large kid watergun by the window and door and some patience also seems to work...
and that keep my little one amused !
the cat used to come in the garden even when I was outside... now they are more hesitant ! and I have also noticed less poos around !

I'm trying Cat shoo (Coleus Canina) to see if that will keep them away (I have cats of my own and they join in with the neighbouring cats pooing in my front garden (it's only flowers but it's still annoying) and they chase everyone away from my rear garden that has all me veg and fruit in and they team up with a local Sparrow Hawk to keep the pigeons away from me peas).
