Question
How do I get the skunks, feral cats and etc. out of my yard? No matter how I fill the big holes under my fence, they dig new ones and come in. The cats also use my yard as a litter box.

Answer
Sloat will be carrying a new product called Shotgun Repel All later this spring. It is designed to deter those harder to be rid of animals such as skunks and raccoons. In the past we recommended Critter Ridder for the skunks but heard that the product did not help. What did work for skunks was attaching rags soaked in ammonia at their entry points to the yard. It is also important to find any uncovered holes or crawl spaces that go under the house or under stairs.
As far as the cats go, the Bonide Dog and Cat repellent has been effective. Cats also dislike orange oil. Some people save their orange peels, shred them very small and apply to the areas where the cats are defecating.
