Cat Repellent
Cat repellent: all you need to know
Currently, there are around 9 million cats in the UK. While these furry creatures make excellent pets, they can be a nuisance for many homeowners around the country. If you have a lot of wildlife in your garden, particularly birds, then cats may be a cause for concern.
The Mamal Society esitmate that cats kill and bring home between 25-29 million birds a year in the UK (study found here). However, there is a lot of controversy as to the validity of these studies and the accuracy of these figures, with the RSPB stating: "Despite the large numbers of birds killed by cats in gardens, there is no clear scientific evidence that such mortality is causing bird populations to decline" & "It is likely that most of the birds killed by cats would have died anyway from other causes before the next breeding season, so cats are unlikely to have a major impact on populations."(click here)

What are Cat scarers and cat repellers?
In essence, you have a product that emits a high-frequency sound in your garden. By releasing this sound, it deters predators within the area. Cats don’t like the noise, so they will stay well away.
Some cat repellents come in spray or granule form as well. Here, they emit a smell that wards off the cats.

Yes.
Cat repellents are designed to be safe for you to use. The very nature of them means that they scare off cats, rather than cause any damage to them. This lets you protect the species in your garden without harming any other animals.
Furthermore, due to the specific frequency, the noise doesn’t hurt or harm the birds or animals in your garden. It won’t scare them away as it’s designed specifically for the ears of cats. Likewise, the smells created to scare off cats aren’t going to ward off the other wildlife in your garden.

- Less destruction to your property: Cats can often go to the toilet in your garden, which means you have to deal with the mess. Also, they might scratch your fencing or mess up your flowerbeds. So, a cat repellent stops all of this from happening.
