Depends on what you need to deter them from.
Do not use mothballs as they can be toxic to cats and other forms of wildlife. My mothballed woolens are kept in the garage, not in the house where my cats live.
For outdoor gardens no one has mentioned cayenne pepper so far. People report that this is effective in deterring garden digging or inside for house plants if kitty decides to potty there.

to apply mousetraps as a cat deterrent, get the small previous formed snap traps, set them and place them flippantly throughout-the-counter, then lay a sheet or 2 of newspaper over the traps. whilst the cat humps up, , it lands on the paper and triggers the traps. They snap on the below facet of the paper, making a unexpected startling noise it extremely is meant to frighten the cat out of doing it back. each and every each and every now and then it works, ans each and every each and every now and then the cat figures out that once it extremely is been tripped, the floor is now risk-free to upward push up on. different gadgets you ca use are vinyl carpet runner with the prong facet up, a "scat matt" an electric mat that grants a innocuous yet unsightly static charge, or unsightly scents like citrus. back, some paintings and a few the cats outsmart. the only factor that I rather have heard reliably works is termed Ssscat! it extremely is a can of pressurized air with a action sensing gadget on perfect that supplies a warning ben and then a small blast of air whilst the cat triggers the sensor. it extremely is set for distance and variety, and as quickly as the cat has been "hissed" at various situations, it extremely is set to beep in elementary terms. it extremely is many times sufficient to maintain deterring the cat. it extremely is somewhat high priced, yet you may get top off cans, and it has an extremely reliable music checklist of working. it extremely is accessible at many puppy shops and a few vets.

If you are trying to keep them off your property, then look into dried blood and urine. Sprinkle around your yard. It tells them a predator lives there.
There is also something called Cat Stop that emits ultrasonic sounds that cats hate. Look at home improvement stores, pet shops, garden centers, or do a web search.

Get a squirt gun, bottle etc. Water will work very well. If cat is persistent, use a little clorox mixed in with the water. Very little, just so the smell is there.
