There are cats in my private property/condominium

Before you make a complaint to the authorities, here are some ideas and humane methods to deter and discourage these roaming cats from loitering near your home.
Method 1
Rub white vinegar, lemon juice, crushed mothballs or salt where the cat usually lingers. These ingredients are not harmful and will not hurt the cat or yourself but they will discourage loitering as cats dislike these scents.
Method 2
To deter a roaming cat from sleeping in your potted plants, place blunt disposable chopsticks around the pot to prevent the cat from climbing in. Ensure the sticks are blunt so as not to injure yourself, the cat or a passing neighbour.
Method 3
Using a small spray bottle, lightly squirt water on the cat whenever you see the cat outside your door. This will discourage the cat from loitering and visiting your home again. Please use cold water so you don’t hurt yourself or the cat.

We can also help you obtain a high-frequency sonic repellant that can be installed to deter cats.

If your land area is a large one such as a condo or commercial compound, removal of cats is often not the solution as it creates a vacuum effect where others will take its place, repeating the cycle. We can assist to sterilise the cats and work with resident caregivers (if any) and yourself for an effective long term solution.
