Forget the moth balls. I would try this tonic that Jerry Baker swears by:


2 cloves garlic, 2 small onions


1 jalapeno pepper, 1 tbsp.cayenne pepper


1 tbsp.Tabasco sauce, 1 tbsp.chili powder


1 tbsp.liquid dish soap, 1 quart warm water





Chop garlic,onions and pepper fine,and then combine with remaining ingredients. Let mixture sit and "marinate" for 24 hours,strain it through cheesecloth or old pantyhose, then sprinkle it on any areas where the cats and dogs are a problem. Good luck!
Reply:moth balls could seriously hurt them. try tin foil crumpled around edges most cats do not like it. they do sell at pet stores a spray that tothe animals smells awful and they keep away.
Reply:Chewy slugs!
Reply:Apparently if you take an empty soft drink bottle (clear ones are best) and half fill these with water, cap them, then leave them on their sides near your flowerbeds - this works. I have no idea why but it does!
Reply:Peppermint. Most animals hate the smell and will stay away. You can either plant some around the garden or try a few drops on terra cotta plant stakes or pots This only lasts a short period so do this every morning for a week or 2 and they will get out of the habit of stopping by.
Reply:Don't think mothballs would work. Think they're only for moths! You can buy stuff to put on flowerbeds that animals find horrible but won't hurt your flowers. Ask at your local gardening centre.
Reply:put a wires around the perimeter of your garden so that the area can not be easily accessed my the cat or the dog
Reply:I have bought an ultrasonic cat scarer and that helps. I don't know if it will work for dogs.





I did use a product that smelled awful to animals and that worked but only until it rained.

Reply:sprinkle with pepper
Reply:Set out a couple little cups of antifreeze, like for your car. They don't like this and it will keep them away.
Reply:Get yourself an even bigger cat or dog.
