Hi again,
I have like 24 ferals that I take care of, and right now since it's cold they huddle together either in my shack or in this little improv house in my backyard, but when it isn't really cold or they feel like exploring, they wander off into my neighbor's garages (he frequently leaves them open and closes them at night, leaving the cats trapped) or onto my neighbor's trash which is in their driveway that's really close to where many cars drive by. Thankfully none of them have been run over but many of my cats always end up getting stuck in my neighbor's garages, and it takes a lot of time for me to go search for them and check if they're in there. I used orange oil once but the bottle it came with was super defective and i decided not to use it anymore because the few times i used it proved ineffective. Is there any effective recommendation that y'all have that works in keeping cats away from trash, roads, garages, etc. ?
