Cats have a maddening affinity for treating gardens like their personal toilet.
The wandering creatures leave behind surprises for gardeners in their flowers and vegetable patches to discover after they're long gone. What's worse, their droppings contain bacteria and parasites, which can be harmful to us.
But gardeners can wield a handful of tricks to stop cats from wanting to step foot in their gardens in the first place, according to Robert Collins at Myjobquote.co.uk, the UK’s leading trades matching site. Read on for his top five tips as shared with the Express.
Cats "don't like wet soil", preferring loose, dry earth, so limiting these areas is key. They aren't generally fans of water, so well-watered gardens will be an unappealing place for them to rest.
Of course, keeping plants hydrated is a good practice in and of itself, so anything to keep the animals from crushing and defecating on your flowers and veg can only be good.
To keep lawns and flowers hydrated, consider installing an automatic water sprayer to deter cats as well as foxes. The devices are "great repellents against cats and foxes". The motion detective can run you £27 on Amazon and £40 from B&Q.
Robert explained: "These devices are safe and effective at deterring animals from your garden. They gently spray out bursts of water every few seconds in the general direction of the intruder.
"Cats and foxes are not fans of water, so this method will usually deter them after the first spray. Simply connect the sprayer to your garden hose and turn it on.
"Then, just leave it running. It won’t spray any water until the sensor recognises an intruder. This means that you can avoid wasting water."
It's worthwhile to check where cats can enter your garden in the first
