Guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Hi all i dont know if any of you guys with cat probs have tried this,i have got cats myself & near my loft my missus has asmall floer bed that the cats use as a litter tray tried different things to stop them any way i went down loft other day & could smell something wasnt a bad smell after investigating realised te misss had put some new stuff down to stop cats going to toilet in her flower bed. Not only have they stopped going to toilet there but have also stopped going down near loft cos of smell so might be worth say hanging some on front of loft to stop cats she got it from B&Q its called GET OFF looks like green jelly balls
sapper756 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 BE AWARE THIS MAY BE POISONESS TO YOUR BIRDS M8
pigeonpete Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 BE AWARE THIS MAY BE POISONESS TO YOUR BIRDS M8 agree, young birds will eat it and must surely be poisonous ??)
crazy pigeon boy Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 read the tub mate to see if it will harm the birds
tubbles Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 just looked around on the internet and some people use the Get off stuff with success but they say it washes away in the rain and others go to the zoo and get Lion poo apparently it works (must be a cat thing) others recommend just orange peel.
Guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Agree with reading the label; everything I buy for the garden has got to have 'pet friendly' stuff on label. Noticed this year two of the newspaper inserts for garden plants both advertise a cat deterrant plant, e.g. Sun 'coleus canina' £18 for 20 plants. Was thinking about some for planting along perimeters. Another useless venture?
Guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 i dont know if it is poiseness my irds do not go on floor they are taught this as babies cos of cats etc but i thought that maybe it could be put in soething like hession bag & hung on front of loft,i tried plants year or so ago commonly known as P off plants but didnt work

MAFF No: 04570. A cat and dog deterrent that works by slowly releasing a strong perfumed odour which confuses the animal's sense of smell. Used as directed it will not harm pets or humans. Can be used on grass, beds and concrete. I like your idea of hanging bags, I'd like to try it along my perimeter fences. I'll also change your heading to 'Cat deterrant worth a try', maybe attract more attention.

Roland Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Just buy a Garden Electric wire... even horses buck and run fro them. 5-6 inches high around the Garden. top of the fence, the loft or what ever. They only sniff or touch it once and won't come back... they smell the electric after that and give a real wide birth. Can't in reality see what the problem is iin not having one to do the job!
Guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Roland, What kind of planning permission, if any, would members require before erecting an electric fence in a domestic setting? Would we be allowed to erect a wire along the top of a fence which was the boundary between two residential properties?
Roland Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 They sell them in some garden centres and what no and work of a nine volt battery. No planning permission is needed. Likewise I have he one used in fields and runs a 3/4 prong one... two is more than adequate. and that is also legal and needs no planning permission. Many are using them this way ... used to ge them of travellers cheap lol, but even theses are really cost effective, a lot less than what a good bird costs.
Roland Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Problems solved eh! http://www.agrisellex.co.uk/erol.html#1X0 The place I use http://www.rutland-electric-fencing.co.uk/newproducts.htm#gardenkits This has to be good http://www.wessexanimalhealth.co.uk/acatalog/fencing.html And many more http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=9+Volt+electric+fence+%2F+wire&meta=
Mananzwa Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 A neighbour has some Asian Leopard cats who were causing us hell. He used Agrisellex (www.agrisellex.co.uk) who have a lot of experience with African wildlife. They put in a fence that has solved the problem and we are now mates again. Cost was about £200.00
