Cats
Whether you love them or not, cats can be a real problem in gardens. We supply humane, effective deterrents to ensure that these problems are addressed (and you're not wading through cat poo when tending to your plants!)
Problems With Cats
Due to their free-roaming nature, cats can cause chaos on people's properties. They are also a problem when they hunt for food outside of commercial premises such as in bins at restaurants. They are not to be allowed around food preparation areas, whether domestic or feral, as you can never be sure where they've been!
There are three broad groups of cats; domestic, feral and stray. Feral cats have never been domesticated and are usually scared of humans. Stray cats, on the other hand, are cats there were previously domesticated and have reverted to the wild. Domestic cats are someone's pet.
Feral and stray cats are often flea carriers (which can easily transfer to domestic cats) which is especially so for feral cats as they tend to live in big groups. All types can cause a considerable amount of unwanted noise and smell near where they live. They can foul (poop) on properties, especially in gardens, scent mark their territory with foul smells, scratch tree bark and scare off birds that you may be trying to attract.
Identification
Aside from seeing the cats themselves (or their droppings on your property), common signs may include: damage to plants, dead rodents or birds, loud noises from mating and fighting, foul odours from where the cats are marking their territory and flea infestations.
They can offer a natural form of pest management against rodents such as mice, however domestic cats aren't particularly effective (half the time they will bring their catches into homes) and feral cats bring their own problems. There are other, more effective solutions to controlling rodents which we explore in our blog.
Solutions
Our sprays and granules below can be used for immediate results. These should be combined with general good practice such as maintaining good hygiene practices (put rubbish in secure bins) and take steps to ensure they don't have a reason to hunt on your property (by ensuring rodents such as rats and mice aren't present). Informing the owner of the cat (if the owner is known) can also help, but rarely if the feline is allowed to roam freely.
