I know it's to keep dogs and cats off but why does it scare them.And where did it come from?

It's an urban myth - it is supposed to keep dogs and cats from peeing on the grass, but it doesn't. Just looks untidy.

Are the bottles just laying there or they upside down? there is a product on the market that fits on the mouth of a pop bottle and slowly releases the water to keep the ground moist. Dogs and cats are too smart to be fooled by bottles of water laying on the lawn. The only result I could see would be for them to use them like a small fire hydrant. Seems to me to be not only stupid, but ugly to boot. If they were laying in the flower beds or partly filled with beer, they might be slug traps. The idea being that the slugs crawl in, drink the beer, and get too drunk to crawl out.

Putting bottles of water on your lawn is supposed to stop dogs peeing on your lawn.It doesn't work,and I don't know where the idea came from.

I have never heard of this regarding dogs and cats.
We do bottles of sugar water by the apple trees to draw the worms and insects away from the apples and into the water to die.

People put bottles of water on their lawns because it scares away birds.

I have heard that if you put a bottle upside down in your lawn, it scares moles away. That is all I can think of.

I thought this myth was dead and gone, but apparently it keeps surfacing.
