Default Pepper cat repellent?


"Susan Solomon" wrote in response to the suggestion that she may want
to use preemergent weed killer on her beds:

Well, that's it. No pre-emergent after all. I've gardened 30 years without
it, and I guess I can go another 20 or so. My 2 "boys", old neutered
tomcats, follow me everywhere around our back yard; they love to watch me
weed and hoe my flowers, and I don't want anything to happen to them. I'll
just assume that the emerging weeds will die of suffocation and frustration
under the newspapers and mulch - and keep my hoe handy!


Hello Susan,

With all due respect to your choice, there is something that
must be clarified so others will understand that preemergent
weed killer presents no danger to either your pets or children:

In their faqs there is question number 23:

When can children &/or pets play around/in areas treated with Preen?

Children &/or pets can go in a treated area after Preen was applied
according to label directions, dusts have settled from application,
watering-in and/or rain has occurred and area has thoroughly dried.

So that there is no confusion as to why I would want to suggest
something that may harm either pets or children.
