Cats / was Ants / was Aspartame is a neuropoison!

[Guest guest]

While on the subject of repellents.....ground cayenne

pepper sprinkled in the mulch around your flowers and

planted areas very effectively discourages cats from

using your mulched areas as litter boxes. Oh

yeah....they'll go there once after you sprinkle that

magic red powder on, but it will generally be their

last visit. They will move on to doing their cat

business in someone elses yard.

 

One caveat, apply when there is no wind or it will

blow up into your eyes and nose (do not ask how I

know) and make you uncomfortable. Also, you must

reapply every 3-5 days or after a rain until the

offending felines are thoroughly educated.
