"Mikoangelo" wrote in message 37.193... Is there anyone who knows a good tip to keeping cats of the grounds? -- Mikoangelo - webmaster of http://harrypotter.lk-data.net I don't know the layout of your property. However, this motion-activated sprinkler might help if there is some way to set it up around the perimeter where intruders would activate it but where your guinea pigs would not.http://www.biconet.com/critter/sprinkler.html MaryL |

Predator pheromones are available, and they are supposed to dislike one of the citrus scents - lemon I think. Something like that might be usable in an arid climate. About 35 years ago, I bought some green plastic things that were to be tied to the shrubs to keep cats from using the flower beds as litter pans - they continuously released an odor - lemon, I think. There was also a dog version. They didn't work all that well and I haven't seen them since. About 20 years ago, I bought a product in a spray can called "Indoor No" that was supposed to keep cats off the furniture - there was also an outdoor version. It didn't work all that well. I haven't seen it since either. T.E.D. - e-mail must contain "T.E.D." or my .sig in the body) |
