I removed that info from the "Cat Deterrents" section. Thanks!

Very dangerous and you should never put them as a deterent for animals. Never, ever use mothballs where anyone or anything can inhale the smell and toxic chemical within.

They dislike the smell and will leave the area alone.

He missed the liter box a few times and went in the corner of our basement on the carpet. I was able to lessen the smell tremendously using baking soda and peroxide. I finally got bold and just poured full strength peroxide on our carpet. It did help. I suggest you test for color fastness first. It didn't seem to bother our carpet, but you never know. Sure did improve the smell. Good Luck!! We had a very old stray we took in that ended up blind. He missed the liter box a few times and went in the corner of our basement on the carpet.

For water-wise reasons we put a mulch of bark chips on our garden and that was the last we saw of the cats - they didn't approve of the spiky environment! Now we keep our garden topped up with bark chips, available from our local nursery. We had a problem with neighboring cats for years, since we are allergic we couldn’t get our own one as a deterrent.
