their poo in the borders ready to surprise
you when you do a bit of hand weeding. When
digging they damage your small tender plants
& seedlings. Here are a few tips on
deterring cats from your garden. |

The Bottle Trick
|
|
Ever wondered why people put bottles on
there lawns?
You may have been told its to keep cats
away and its true. But does it work and
how? First of all we must half fill a clear
plastic bottle with water
.(
Its very important to fill half full of
water. ) Put lid on and place in the middle
of the lawn. If you have a big lawn then
put a few about. Leave out and see if it
works! Cats are suppose
to
be scared away by the bottle, but how you
ask? It works best at night and if there
a breeze. Take a light say from a street
lamp, car or one of your windows. This light
travels through the bottle and the water
which is then reflected away like laser
beams in different directions giving off
little flashes. The cat sees these flashes
and Zap! He's away. There you have it so
go out and try it out on your lawn. |
