Re: Has anyone tried Citronella or Silent Roar or similar to deter cats ?

According to the maker's product sheet, there shouldn't be anything harmful ... and you'd only need a short, localized spray ... no need to go overboard and spray the whole garden.

My standard disclaimer though: I've never actually used it to deter cats ... I have 3 rescued former-feral cats who live here ... I've just noticed that they don't like the smell if I've used WD40 on the padlocks/door hinges of any of our outbuildings.
