Things You'll Need
- Household ammonia
- Small jars
- Orange peels
- Pine cones
- Eggshells
- Dog and cat repellant spray
Instructions
Dig a hole in the center of your flower box. Bury a small jar so the top is flush with the soil. Fill it half full of water and half full of ammonia. Cats don't like the smell of ammonia.
Put various citrus fruit peelings on the soil between the flowers. Orange, lemon and lime peels give off a strong citrus smell that cats don't like.
Cover the ground between your flowers with eggshells, then place pine cones on top of them. Cats don't like to walk on eggshells, and the pine cones act as an obstacle so the cats can't find an area to dig up and go to the bathroom.
Spray the dog and cat repellent around the perimeter of the flower box every week to keep your cat out of it.
