Tired of cats and foxes treating your garden like a playground? Try this simple homemade remedy to keep them at bay! 🦊🐱 While these little critters can be cute, they often dig up soil, uproot plants, and leave behind unwanted surprises. The solution? A fragrant herbal spray that helps protect your precious garden without any harm to the animals.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1.4 litres of water
– 30g each of basil, geranium, and sage leaves
– 4 cloves of garlic
– An optional onion for extra kick
Method:
1. Heat the water in a saucepan until it’s almost boiling.
2. Chop up the basil, geranium, and sage leaves, then add them to the water.
3. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the brew (throw in an onion if you like).
4. Let everything simmer for around 30 minutes.
5. Cool the mixture, strain out the solids, and pour the liquid into a spray bottle.
Spray this aromatic concoction around your garden, especially in areas where pests like to roam. You can even scatter the leftover bits on fences or near gates to up your garden’s defence game. Remember to reapply after rain or once a week for the best results.
Strong-smelling herbs work wonders, as foxes and cats are far more likely to stay away when they encounter unfamiliar scents. You’ll keep your garden safe and sound naturally—no harsh chemicals needed!
