Ultrasonic Pest Repeller

Simply place the deterrent unit in your desired location, and watch as unwanted cats and animal pests are deterred from entering the 40 foot range of protection.

Citrus Peels

Just like it sounds, you scatter orange, lemon, or lime peels all over the surface of your raised beds.

Distraction

Keep cats away from your garden by making a separate part of the yard that is OK for them to use as a litterbox. Plant some catnip nearby for them to enjoy. You'll still have to clean up, but everything will be contained.

Rosemary Essential Oil

Since cats have 80 million smell receptors (people have 5 million), the concentrated scents from essential oils can keep them away from your garden. Recommended oils include Rosemary, Citronella, and Orange.

Coleus Canina plant

This plant is also called “Scaredy Cat Coleus.” It has a distinctive skunk smell, which is worse when someone brushes up against the plant or bruises it. This attractive perennial herb is a member of the mint family.
