Animal deterrents are widely used in gardens around the world to allow dogs, cats, possums and other animals to live in a garden without destroying valuable plants, fruit trees or vegetable gardens. It is essential to consider the welfare of the animal as well as protect the garden. Seek advice from suppliers as to the overall safety of products. Contact your local RSPCA for advice on protecting plants from both domestic and native animals. The aim is to have a peaceful co existance between plant and animal.

Cat, Dog and possum Deterrents
       




Cat Deterrents, Possum Deterrents, Dog and Animal Deterrents for the home and garden.
Possums and cats can be a real problem in the garden, brush tailled possums are notorious for eating rose buds, and cats can tend to dig over new plantings. Both possums and cats are not easily restrained by fences so they can be a problem in the garden. Dogs can simply 'knock over' plants or dig them up, and are attracted to newly fertilized areas, however fencing can stop them. A range of chemical, organic and electronic deterrents for animals are on the market, all designed to
stop animals from ruining plants and garden beds.

Chemical Cat and Possum Deterrents

 Chemical deterrents are designed to either produce an odour or smell that deters the cat or possum, or in the case of possums, produce a bitter taste that encourages them to look elswhere for food.

Electronic Cat, Possum and Dog Deterrents

 These devices such as 'CatWatch' emit ultrasonic sounds audible not audible to the human ear. Electronic fences are also available for confining dogs, these work with a device fitted to the collar.

Fencing and Barrier Deterrents

 Fencing works for dogs, for Possums and Cats, netting can work, use shade cloth however as with bird netting the risk of entanglement makes this problematic. Barriers such as floppy wire can be successful.
