How do you keep unwanted dogs and cats off your property?

Question

Cats and dogs are always seen in my front yard. I myself, have no pets, just some ignorant neighbors who let their pets out. I have no idea on who these animals belong to. I'm looking for a very inexpensive way on keeping these nuicances out of my yard, for good!

Answer 1

Put some ammonia in those 1 gallon water jugs. Put 1 at each corner of your yard. Dogs and cats are nosy, so they'll always sniff to see what it is. It hurts their noses like hell and eventually they'll stop coming around.

Answer 2

I know this is going to sound a bit crude but human urine will stop a stray dog from entering your property. Try whizzing along the area you want the animal to avoid. They also make some wonderful products at most pet stores that contain phermones to keep animals away.

As a last resort...call the animal control. But remember that most animals are killed when picked up.

Answer 3

Some of the larger garden stores like Green Thumb are carrying coyote or bobcat urine - the real thing. Smells like hell. Use it sparingly at the perimiter of your front yard. Animals will steer clear. So will the mailman, the UPS man, the FEDEX guy, your mother etc. for a while.

Answer 4

There is a spray at like pet smart or pet stores called no no and u spray it on ur yard every few weeks until they no longer come around
