    I heard every thing from coffee grounds , orange peals. Our rescue cat goes outside. And nothing worse then digging away. To have glove full of ____ I have to cat and dog begone-but stinks.

    I use 3 things to keep almost everything away. Dried blood, moth flakes and coyote urine.

    I used dried blood one time. Could not keep our Viszla out of flower beds. And at time was raising them And They would look at me say Sorry. Bought case of cat and dog Be Gone. We had 6 Viszlas then.

    Chicken pellets are said to stink to high heaven, also great for palms in moderation.
