Instructions
Grow plants that cats find offensive to discourage them from wanting to come in your garden. Plants that cats find distasteful include lavender, rosemary, geraniums and pennyroyal.
Use foods items that are repellent to cats in your yard. Cayenne pepper sprinkled liberally on the grass will send them running. Vinegar, citrus peels and chili powder will also deter them.
Set up a sprinkler system that is motion-activated. When the cat is seen moving in your yard, the sprinklers will automatically turn on, causing the cat to flee the area.
