Many owners of country houses are familiar with the situation when neighboring cats come for a walk. In this case, pets can leave marks, damage plantings or eat food from the bowl of the owner's animals.
But how to keep them away from the area?
There are simple and safe ways.
Experienced gardeners recommend planting plants on the plot whose smell cats don't like. Mint, lavender, geranium, etc. are effective.
In addition, you can diversify the landscape with the help of citrus plants. Cats do not like the smell of oranges, tangerines or lemons.
It is advisable to place them along the perimeter of the site.
You can also place bags of herbs.
Coffee lovers can scatter coffee grounds along the border of their property.
If you have your own cat living in the yard, it is better to feed it under supervision or in the house so that the leftover food does not attract other animals.
