Heather on Oct 12, 2015I use black pepper. I get bulk size containers of common black pepper and sprinkle it in those areas the cats like to use. This is generally a place with soft dirt or sand. Cats (and dogs) don't like strong smells, also pepper won't hurt them other than make them sneeze. You may have to reapply the pepper after rain or watering until the cats learn to stay away. I also like to use pinecones. The roughness discourages digging for animals. I live around pine trees, so cones are a natural design element for me too. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Pis2225486 on Oct 13, 2015Cats abhor strong smelling anything. I have two cats and a food garden with no fencing... So, I built them an outdoor litter box just for them on the other side of the house. Since these cats aren't yours, try spraying anything with strong smelling essential oil, like rosemary, cinnamon, etc. The good news is that once they learn to keep out, they'll remember... but no time to delay! The longer they are allowed to do it, the harder it will be to retrain them! Also, since you have to dogs, brush them and put their dog hair around the borders of your property... a little scent can go a long way! Good Luck!Helpful Reply
