Black pepper is a natural repellent ingredient that is simply unbearable for cats' highly developed sense of smell due to its pungent odor.

To keep them away from the house without any problems, all you need to do is take some ground black pepper and then sprinkle it generously on the areas you want to protect and the places frequented by four-legged friends.

As soon as this magical product reaches their sinuses, they will clear up right away. But remember that it's important to crush it to release its powerful scent.

Some other ways to keep cats away from your home

Of course, there are other ways to solve this problem and keep cats from wandering around your yard or in your home. Here are some useful tips:

1. Coffee grounds are a great repellent to scare cats away. Animals cannot stand to be touched with their paws. But you need to use dry coffee grounds and then sprinkle them on the desired areas.

2. Refrain from feeding stray cats or ask your neighbor not to feed them. Many of us want to feed our neighbors' cats, but they may not like this gesture. Therefore, it is better to refrain from it. It is better to choose a place away from home to feed stray animals.

3. Use mothballs. Place it in strategic places, especially under trees, bushes and flower beds, so cats will forget about these places.

4. Consider installing a motion-sensing sprinkler system. If you don't mind putting your hand in your pocket, you can always afford a motion-sensing sprinkler system. As soon as the cat passes into the field of view of the device's lens, the latter is activated and immediately sprays the cat.

5. Cats hate aluminum. Take advantage of this and place it near your plants and your garden. Most cats have a flight reaction as soon as they touch aluminum.
