Best Cat Repellents in the UK

No matter whether you need an effective solution to stop your cat from scratching and rattling the bedroom door at night or want to teach your little kitty where are NO-GO zones in your house, you just can't go wrong with the PetSafe Ssscat Spray Deterrent. It's an amazingly effective and completely safe spray for indoor use.

The PetSafe deterrent works by releasing a short, unscented burst that promises to discourage your cats or dogs to enter prohibited areas. And the best part is the fact that the bottle sprays automatically when detects your pet within a 1-meter range. The directions of spray are fully adjustable.

On average, the Petsafe Ssscat Deterrent releases 80-100 bursts before the can needs to be replaced. To prolong its service life, you don't necessarily need to leave the repeller switched on all the time. You can switch off the device when not in use.

As mentioned, the Ssscat spray is safe for humans and pets. It's formulated with HFO-1234ze gas which also has a minimal impact on the environment. Plus, it's odourless, meaning it won't cause any reactions.

So, if you're looking for a great repellent that works admirably well and don't mind pay premium for that, the PetSafe Ssscat Spray is a wise choice. It'll help you set boundaries for your pets and prevent them from jumping on restricted zones such as kitchen worktops, windowsills, or rubbish bins.

Are neighbours' cats and dogs always coming to your property and leave many deposits all across your lawn? Or, probably, foxes are the frequent visitors in your garden? If that goes for you, the Pestbye® repellent can be the answer to your prayers.

The set includes two ultrasonic sticks that offer the most humane way to keep unwanted pests out of your property. Each stick is fitted with an accurate infrared PIR motion sensor that automatically detects the movement (up to 7 meters away) and triggers the repeller to produce a high-frequency sound that is inaudible for humans but annoying for rodents.

And the best part is that the output frequency of each unit can be adjusted precisely to your particular pest problem. That is to say, you can adjust the intensity from 1 to 11 level so as to repel not only cats and dogs but also insects, squirrels, rodents, foxes, and roaches. With that, the device doesn't affect birds and bees. Also, the sound doesn't go through walls, so it won't affect a pet living inside your house.

Both sticks are very easy to set up. You just need to insert 4 x AA batteries and install the units by pushing them into the ground (the zinc-coated ground stake is provided in the box). Alternatively, you can screw the repellents into a wall or fence. The sticks are fully weatherproof and can be used in any weather.

Once installed, the electronic repellents cover a 110-degree arc, to a distance of up to 10 meters. In a word, if you'd like to protect your whole property, this is a fantastic option for you.

The Jet-Spray Fox Repeller is another great product that can protect your lawns, flowerbeds, and ponds from unwanted visitors. It does the trick in the most humane way possible with no chemicals or irritating sounds.

As the name suggests, the Jet-Spray Protector produces powerful jets of water in bursts to scare away even the most persistent pests. In addition to squirting water, it makes a clicking noise as it sweeps across. The device is motion-activated and sprays water only when necessary, thus preserving power and water.

What is great, the sensitivity of the sensor can be easily adjusted. Also, you can change the angle of the jet and how far you want it to shoot the water. In other words, you can tailor the repeller to your property and requirements.

The device needs AA alkaline batteries and should be hooked to the hosepipe for proper operation. The spike is meant to be pitched into the ground, and you may need to stick a wooden stake next to it so as to prevent wobbling. Once installed, its working range will make up to 10 meters in a 120-degree arc. Within that range, it can effectively repel cats, foxes, rabbits, herons, deer, squirrels and other wildlife guests.

So, no matter whether you'd like to get rid of little "presents" from foxes and cats or want to protect the fish in your pond from herons, the Jet-Spray cat scarer from Defenders will get you covered.

In case you don't want to ruin the integrity of your beautiful lawns with sticks and stakes but need to get rid of small messes here and there, we have a perfect alternative for you - the Defenders 450 Cat and Dog Scatter Granules.

As it goes from the name, the pack includes special granules that are capable of driving aways cats and dogs from your property. The granules are made with only natural ingredient (aromatic plant oils) to deter animals from fouling, digging, or scratching in your garden. With that, the granules and completely biodegradable and safe for humans, pets, and your lawns.

Prior to application the granules, it's better to clean the area - remove visible poos and digging holes. Then, you should scatter the granules evenly over the needed area at a rate of 3 grams per sq m. To simplify the distribution, the manufacturer supplies the granules in the container with an easy-to-use shaker cap.

On average, one bottle is enough to treat up to 150 sq m of outdoor areas. However, take note that the repellent needs reapplication every 48 hours until cats are completely deterred. Also, you should disperse the new batch of granules after the rain, meaning the coverage may be reduced a bit. Nevertheless, the product isn't that costly and you can always buy more. It works like a charm, so it's definitely worth the effort and money.

The Get Off My Garden Cat Repellent isn't a long-term prevention solution but a quick and safe product used for training purposes mainly. The bottle contains 460 grams of the jelly-like substance that works like cat repellent pellets and must be scattered evenly across your property to discourage cats from fouling. We would like to admit that one bottle won't be sufficient to cover large areas, that's why the solution is mostly used on targeted areas like lawns and flowerbeds.

The best thing about this product is obviously its consistency. The jelly-like crystals are extremely effective in any weather condition and seem to last for weeks, unlike many other similar products with bio-degrade formulas.

Plunging deeper into details, we'd like to say that the crystals contain a chemical element Methyl Nonyl Ketone. When it gets on animals' skin, it confuses them with a strong odour and makes them uncomfortable. With that, the chemical is completely safe to both animals and soil. However, it may be abrasive for fish and mustn't be used near ponds.

All things considered, if you'd like to neutralise some hotspots of the local wildlife in your garden, the Get Off detergent will fit the bill. Its jelly crystals will slowly release an offensive odour regardless of the weather.
