Tips for Orange Oil Concentrate Cat Repellent
Orange Oil Concentrate Cat Repellent is also a great cleaner and a great insecticide, there are lots of great reports on just how multi-purpose this oil is.
Conclusion
Orange Oil Concentrate is a great cleaner and a good insecticide. As a cat repellent we are not so sure however; the results from customers are mixed and our own testing was hit or miss. Because it is a spray, its effect is limited by weather conditions.
We would only recommend this product if you also happened to be looking for a good safe multi-purpose cleaner!

How much should the product be diluted for use in a spray bottle to repel cats?
Hi Kathy
The dilution depends on the use. If you are spraying on hard surfaces or plants, then only 2 ounces per gallon of water is required, so it goes a long way. If you are spraying areas of soil you’ll want to double that up to 4 ounces per gallon of water.
Hi I’m Niki. I’m looking for a good outdoor repellent for stray cats. I’ve built a catio and strays keep coming near it and marking on his cage and then my cat marks back. I don’t want to deter my cat from going outside, but want to deter the others from coming near. I’ve been looking at some indoor ones as well, because my cat is now choosing to mark my front door (saying it’s his house) to the others. I think the cat scram will work best in this situation
Any advice?
Hi Niki
I think this is one of the most difficult cat problems to solve, keeping stray cats away without it affecting your own cat. This is doubly important with a catio obviously – as you don’t want feral cats moving in and evicting your own cat!
I did a bit of research as I have never come across this before, but I came up totally blank – somebody really needs to come up with a solution for catios! I was thinking there must be an electronic key device that would go on a cat collar to unlock the catio, but I could not find such a thing.
Ultrasonic cat repellents are great for keeping cats away, but they do not distinguish between a pet cat and a stray or feral cat 🙁
I am a bit stumped with this one, please do come back and tell us how you got on, and good luck!
