My neighbor's cats get on my porch every night. Besides scaring me awake, they pee on the carpeting and chairs and make a lot of racket. I cannot consult my neighbor about the problem as she is quite ill and I don't want to add to her distress. Is there any way I can deter the cats from using my Porch?
My auntie fills a small plastic bottle about 1/3 full with small stones/pebbles and screws the lid on tight. When she hears the cats she just hurls the bottle near them. The loud noise scares them. She also uses a water spray bottle filled with a mixutre of water and vingar to spray near them. They hate the smell. I agree with the other readers about using anything with chemicals as if the cat has got the chemicals on the paws, they are likely to become sick when they lick their paws.
Well, first of all don't spray Raid, that is poison. I can suggest moth balls as they don't like the smell, but neither do humans so... It is a catch 22. I think the foil is a good idea.
Try tin foil where they are going they don't like the feel of it so they won't go there. Please Don't use chemicals I respect the women's oppionion but it could make your nieghbors cats sick. As for keeping them off your porch you need to scare them. Any loud noise will do. Try a boat horn these come in a air can like a spray cleaner for computers but they make a loud noise when you push on the button. Couple of blasts from that ought to scare them enough they won't come back.
spray some "Raid" around and on the stuff...it should keep them away and also has the added benefit of keeping bugs away also!! This is a tip I learned on how to keep dogs out of your garbage cans at night...or anything for that matter. Never had a problem after, I would put the cans at the curb and spray them with Raid.
Ive heard to spray vinigar that cats hate that. Theres also stuff at the pet supply store, one thats called "Kitty-no". I also use pepper like cayenne - i put it where they 'went' once and they never go back to that spot after they smell there LOL! Good luck! Heres a pic of my girl, who is NOT allowed outside! (smiles) Shes 10 and still a pretty girl young at heart.
