I have plants called catdog plants ((Coleus canina Sumcol 01 ) . I think this is the right name. They are an herb. When animals brush them they give off a "skunk" odor. They don't smell unless you touch them. They are actually pretty. They have a purple flower. I plant it in a small pot and put it in the flowerbed. I haven' t put them in the ground so I can control it. I plant it each year. You nursery should have them.

Sprinkle cinnamon around the borders of the flower box or use plastic toothpicks stuck into the dirt.

Water pistol. It doesnt hurt them but it does make them wary. As soon as they see the water theyre off.
