How to Get Rid of a Stray Cat

Have you ever had that annoying stray cat who does their business in your yard? Stray cats or kittens bring disgusting smells and pollution to your property, they keep you up at night making noise, and they can bring disease to your household pets. Here is a fool-proof way to finally rid yourself of that pesky cat.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bleach
• Bleach Spray

1. Go to the store and purchase either bleach or spray cleaner with bleach. Any brand of bleach will do.

2. Watch the stray cat. Look for where the cat likes to walk in your yard and where they do their business. Notice patterns in their behavior.

3. Take your bleach or bleach spray and generously apply it to the areas where the stray cat likes to hang out. Make sure that you wait until a time when the cat is not there. A cat's sense of smell is very sensitive and the smell of the bleach should keep it away the next time it comes around. Now you can enjoy your pest free (at least cat free) yard or garden.

Tips & Warnings

• After it rains you may have to put down more bleach.
• If the stray cat is a continuous problem, call your local ASPCA or shelter to have them take the cat. This is a win/win situation as you get rid of the cat and the cat will hopefully find a new home!
• Make sure that you have taken any food out of your yard that may be tempting the cat. Keep those garbage pail lids on tight!
• Make sure that no children like to play where you put down the bleach.
