[AT] Cats and Moth Balls

[Larry D. Goss]

Probably.  It's been the better part of 40 years since we used it, and
there are a few things I've forgotten.  :-)

Larry I think you are looking for the plant "nicotinia".

You might try planting nicotia.  It's an ornamental tobacco plant, and

we used it as a deterrent for rabbits, cats, dogs, etc when we lived in

Oklahoma.  My spell checker seems to want to spell it as Nicosia, so

maybe that's it.

I've always heard that but can't try it due to always having a dog, too.

I

have a cheap little fence charger and a spool of fence wire. I can rig

it up

around the flower beds pretty easily. Rebar stakes, electrical tape

around

the rebar, and run the wire about chest height for the cat. Usually

after a

week or so you can remove the charger.

 

Right now I have the charger set up on a huge potted plant in the house

with

two pieces of galvanized hardware cloth lying across the pot attached to

the

leads. The cats give the pot plenty of room now when they walk by.
