How to keep cats out of your yard and under car?

Most cats hate water so a motion sensor water sprinkle.

This is geared more for keeping cats off of cars but some can be used to keep them from getting under a car.

Also, they do hate to get wet, attach a hose to a motion sensor, when motion is detected, the spray gets them wet and away they go.

Maybe this will help. I can confirm the lavender and citrus aversion. Also, if you catch them around shoot them with a squirt of water - they hate that.

I would get a water spray bottle every time you see them and spray them so hopefully they move on to someone elses place.

Hi Tonya, depending on what your yard looks like and whether you have space you can plant rue, lavender, pennyroyal, and citrus trees. Cats don't like the smell. Save up your ground coffee beans and throw them under or around the car. It's another smell they don't like

If you spread mothballs around the car, that should work.

NO!!! This would b harmful to children if they should pick them up.....

There are several products that you can SAFELY use to keep cats/dogs away. One is called STOP and comes in various formulas for different critters. It can be found in most gardening departments at places such as Lowes/Menards/Home Depot.

You can also use scent covers. Try Coyote or Fox scent cover and place a few drops strategically around your property/car. Scent covers can be found in most sporting goods stores with a hunting department...or look online thru Sportsmans Warehouse/Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas/etc.

Please keep in mind that most stray/feral cats did not choose that life...they were cast out by irresponsible people. If you have an excessive number of strays, try looking for a TNR organization in your area...they can help stabilize the population.

TNR WORKS!

Thanks everyone. I will try these suggestions.

Hi, Ask yourself, why are they choosing to do that? Are they looking for shelter, warmth, a place to toilet. If you take away their motive you solve the problem. Solve each reason one at a time. Maybe get your own cat! that is probably the problem solved!
