I think that everyone know the situation when neighboring cats get into the garden and start to trample the beds, one after another. Of course, they do so not out of malice, but the result does not change. Flowers broken tops flattened to the ground, around the pit - all of the "fuzzy games." What do you do if the cats have become frequent visitors to your site?
Do I have dared to cats from the beds?
It is believed that cats should not pay attention. Let yourself running across the garden. To be gentle, they will not be harmed. Especially, it is their nature - they are curious, agile, they need to mark territory...
But I do not agree with this opinion.
Of course, I am very fond of cats, and other pets and will never harm them. But dare cats still need from the beds.
- First of all, cats can cause serious damage to the flowers and delicate plants. Just to break them up by the roots during their games;
- Secondly, cats want to use the toilet and in the attempts made to bury, search through half the beds. Digging out the bulbs and even some root vegetables;
- Third, in the spring of cats completely trample seedlings and young shoots.
Is this not damage the kitchen garden?
It's one thing when a cat (Especially your own). It's quite another - when a few neighborhood cats all summer sport on your site without knowing no boundaries.
As I ventured cats on beds
I used to use a variety of traditional methods. Among them were:
- Mulching beds fir branches;
- Planting plants, smells that cats can not tolerate;
- Installation of nets;
Plants, smells that cats can not stand, is not particularly helpful. Cats do not come to lie down, but running at a gallop on the site did not stop. Mulching spruce branches was very uncomfortable, because I too need access to the garden beds. The grids cat confused, and for me they were very uncomfortable.
However, this year, I still found a way to scare away cats from your site. The method is not national, but cheap and very effective. This ultrasonic repeller cats. I used to think that they are worth big money, but do not really have. His I bought for about 1300 rubles in gardening shop. The result is very happy.
If your beds trample the neighborhood cats, still the best way is ultrasonic repeller. For animals it is harmless, why worry about the Fuzzies not worth it.
