will this keep neighborhood cats from coming up onto my front porch area???

No, it wouldn't. I bought it because of the branding about organic ingredients, but it's not working. I saw neighborhood cats wondering at my front porch the day right after i sprayed every inch of my front yard. Disappointment!

Actually, no. It is a nice product, but not that effective. The odor will linger; kind of cinnamon and clove, so it is all natural ingredients. Make sure there is no food around your front porch, even bird seed.

I had really good luck with the deer stopper by the same brand but my cats ignored this product

In a word, NO. I would not recommend buying this product, sprayed the area two days in a row and the neighbors cans was just relaxing in the middle of the area, it did not care. Waste of money!

I doubt that it would keep animals away from a large area. It keeps cats away from marking our back door and stored feed in the shed, but they still come close.

It worked when we first used it, but the cats seems to have developed a resistance to it.

I mainly use this to keep my cat's away from my lizards but it should work if you set it up correctly or you can always build a cattery outside

It might work for that, I use it outside to keep the cats off of our cars and it is not very effective. I think using it in a close proximity would be effective.

Would this be good to use along with the wire on top of fences to keep destructive rude neighbors cats out?

We installed it on our laundry room door to keep the dogs out of the cat food and box :(. When we pushed the door back and forth it was quiet. We ended up taking the door off because one of our cats was afraid of it. Hope this helps!

i believe so, if it is aimed where the cats will be. The one I installed for my mother-in-law was being set off at night by either cats or a raccoon.

I think it would work to confine your cat, but if you have concerns about a predator animal attacking the cat, I don't think this netting would protect it. It did seem to be very effective though this past summer in preventing deer from raiding my small veggie garden. I would be very careful at first to make sure the cat didn't freak out and entangle itself in the material as the other commenter described. I could see where certain cats could do this.

Great question. Yes its sticky enough to discourage cats from stepping on it. It's also easy to remove off counter tops and won't hurt your cats' paws :)

I have 4 outside cats that all live in my backyard (they hardly ever go in the front). I've had this ball chillin' in the backyard next to my exercise equipment for a couple years now. To my knowledge, they have never once even approached it. Not sure why but I do think that if they wanted to damage it, they probably could. They scratch on my wooden post a lot and it looks pretty damaged, but never this ball. I think it intimidates them or something.

I considered using the microchip cat doors on our spare room. This would block even the small dogs. This is assuming that you have your cats chipped. SureFlap Microchip Cat Door- White

Yes, shake away works well to keep cats out of my garden and away from 4-5 bird feeders. My neighbor has two cats that roam the neighborhood but stay clear of my property thanks to shake Away fox. Urine.

I would also use the glue trap. I used it in my back porch and caught two at the same time. Threw the trap to the neighborhood cat, so now I have a new friend.

I agree that it depends on the cat. My cat tube is on our patio right up close to the side of our door and the opening is away from the wind. I guess you should try what you think would be good for yours. My three love their house !!!!

I wish they would answer this question. All of my outdoor houses have a second opening. I like this but would be worried if my cat was trapped so I will skip this product. We have racoons here and they can get into any space so be trapped by a predator is a real concern.

Yes, I think it probably would. But I agree with dityboycom, if it is indoors, don't have it on when you are there to shoo the cat off the counter. Turn it on when you'll be away, see if it will train the cat over time. We use ours outdoors on the porch, directed toward the patio under our bird feeder. It has successfully kept away a neighbor's cat that was coming to kill birds at the feeder. The range seems to be about 10 feet, maybe a bit more. We do not turn it off unless we are spending time on the patio, walking around in front of it. It has lasted 8 months.

I have mine under my front porch and have not had any problems with it. Keep in mind not to get it wet if you are spraying off you porch or windows.

depending on the "predator" you are hoping to deter, instruction guide will give specifics as to measurements on a location. i am trying to keep racoons away. it says to put on all sides for best results, but that could be pretty costly. i put mine on the 2 sides most apt to be entered. so far so good. i really cant give a definite answer as i dont stay up all nite to watch for. but they are very bright and really do seem like they would do the job. i just put mine up with nails, as it has a place on it to hang them. sorry cant be more of a help....
