RosewoodGet off Dog and Cat Repellent Crystals, 400 g

I bought this to help keep the local cats from using my Lavender garden as the public toilet! It says on the packaging it repels cats and dogs and did this for a few days but the little monsters were soon back to their old habits. It has a very strong scent and sort of gloops on the surface looks a bit Slimer from Ghostbusters has paid a visit.

As my neighbours cat has decided my garden shall be designated the latrine that she frequents often I decided the time had come to try a few things to deter her.My approach has been two fold and to that end I have deployed both chemical and technologial weapons in the struggle. The cat repellant crustals being the chemical element. As mentioned by others wet the ground and then squirt these on, simple. They smell like citronella candles. I have deployed these in the area's hardest hit by the aggressor and so far so good. No fresh cat deposits!As mentioned my approach was two fold and I also deployed the STV610 - MEGA-SONIC CAT REPELLER. Although initially I was a bit disappointed it seems the sonic cat device has become a lot more effective (in fairness it says it takes time), and I now exclusively use this now that my crystals have run out.I will update again with progress from the front!Update 07/05/2013: it would appear the sonic cat repeller is working well for me. I have been clear of mess for a good few weeks and I think its effect on cats is more subtle. I mentioned the device to the neighbour the other side of me and she reports that for the last few weeks she has also seen reduced incidents of cat mess.Now all I need is a device (a legal and humane one...) to silence my neighbours barking dog!

So far, so good! I really no longer see the steady stream of neighbourhood cats inspecting my garden's suitability as a toilet. :-)

Doesn't work, waste of money, spend the extra money and buy an ultrasonic cat repeller which does work

Partially works but the rain washes away and leaves clear crystals on the floor all over the place. You have to keep applying for it to work. Really strong smell.

This product does work until it rains that is. I have several cats in my area & they all chose to use my garden for their toilet.I love & look after my garden & for 11 years never had this problem,because my little dog chased the cats away. I lost him last year so now have this problem. I do like this product,which smells pleasant too. I have purchased 5 bottles so far but as I say the rain seems to dissolve it. The weather is something we can't do anything about.

I applied after cleaning the area and a whole day of rain, it worked initially but sadly after day 4. I am back to picking up cat poop.

i used it, and it did the trick. you need to water the spot/place, if it is a dry patch. it worked for us.
