7/Water devices:

Already on the technological side, these devices detect the presence of an intruder and shoot a burst of water at him. Very effective, it is the best system there is.

8/Electric wire fence:

Like rabbits, cats can be kept away with an electric fence… Don’t panic, it’s not an electric prod and it’s not about electrocuting the animals either. It is a small electric shock that the animal feels like a small prick and immediately learns that it does not have to walk around.

9/Ultrasonic devices:

These devices operate at a high frequency that is inaudible to humans but unbearable to cats. Installation is easy. Simply position the device so that it faces the garden. A motion sensor detects the presence of the intruder, and the ultrasonic cat scarer will emit its high-frequency sound, scaring the cat away.

10/Water and ultrasonic device:

The device uses sound and also shoots water jet and like the previous ones are activated by movement. It would be the double nelson.

11/Noisy element:

You can also make your own noisy device by placing marbles or pebbles in an empty can that can move and make noise when catwalks over a fence. Or, use a sensitive bell or wind chimes that make noise when a cat causes a vibration.

12/Commercial cat repellents :

There are powders that have the odor of urine from predators that cats fear, namely coyotes, foxes, and bobcat. This commercial cat repellent comes in granular form, simply sprinkle it around the problem area. Choose products that are advertised as organic, lest the remedy is worse than the disease.

Foul-smelling substances :

Cats don’t like the dried blood found in blood meal or citrus fertilizers. Use orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit peels in your garden. Some people use mothballs (what can you do). You can also use cayenne pepper flakes, but they will sting and you may not want to use those on your pet.

• Do not use: Lion feces and clear water bottles do not scare anyone. It’s a myth.
• Be sure to change your tactics regularly. A cat new to the neighborhood may not be as sensitive to your usual methods, so changing it up often can lead to more success.
• Provide a friendly area that attracts cats.
• This is for me the best. Create a pact with your cat. Designate an exclusive place for him to feel comfortable. Plant catnip in a spot away from the garden. Not all cats go crazy for catnip, but those that do will consider their “catnip bed” their own private sanctuary and make it their new favorite spot.
• Better yet, make a litter box just for cats and keep it near the catnip plants. Chances are, the litter box will serve as a magnet for cat poop. Sure, you’ll have to clean up the cat poop afterward. But at least you’ll know where it is.

Clean-up tactics

• Keeping your yard and surroundings clean and tidy can reduce visits from stray and wandering cats.
• Don’t feed your pets outside, as food odors will attract other animals, including other cats.
• Keep your outdoor grill clean to avoid food odors.
• Make sure your litter containers are secure.
• When you notice urine stains on walls or doors, wash them with an enzyme-based odor neutralizer to prevent them from urinating there again.
• This is how cats mark their territory.
  Remove clutter that can be a haven for mice and other small prey that cats love to chase.
  Feral cats and their prey can shelter anywhere access is allowed. Check and block all openings that may provide access to sheds, garages, crawl spaces, or porches.
  Keep bird feeders safe by placing them where cats can’t reach them.
  How to prevent visits from stray cats.
  If you’re reading this, it’s because your yard is the destination for every cat in the neighborhood: those whose owners allow them to roam outdoors, strays who used to have homes, and feral cats.

In addition to cat repellents and cleaning methods, you can use these tactics:

Talk to your neighbors:

work with your neighbors to prevent their pets from visiting your yard or hunting the birds you want to protect. Suggest that neighborhood cats wear bells and bright collars to help birds see them and escape. Let neighbors know that you don’t want cats in your yard. Also, if the entire neighborhood works together to reduce feral cat visits, the problem will diminish.
Contact the authorities in your community: if your community has laws, regulations, or a homeowner’s code, you can ask what can be done legally to prevent the presence of these stray cats. Learn what measures you can take.
Traps: let’s go to the most drastic. When other tactics fail, check if you are legally authorized to set traps and capture stray or feral cats. If you discover that the pet has any identification, this is an opportunity to discuss the problem with the owner. Take the felines to a stray animal shelter.
Support programs for stray and feral cats: check for programs that protect feral cats, or other community programs that are dedicated to feeding or caring for feral cats. Support these local cat shelters so they can care for more feral cats.
