More than half of all gardeners seek effective cat deterrents!


The Big Cheese supply the most comprehensive range of effective deterrents designed to keep marauding cats off the Nations gardens. With an estimated 13 million consumers seeking effective and practical solutions, it’s not surprising that the company has seen the animal repellent category grow to an estimated £30million at retail prices.


T


here are more than 11 million pet cats in the UK and, if recent research is anything to go by, cats are proving


to be increasingly unpopular with the nation’s gardeners. In a recent poll*, 55% of respondents said that cats were a recurrent and persistent problem in their gardens. They represent more than 13million consumers all of whom are seeking effective and affordable ways to exclude their neighbours’ pets from fouling their seedbeds and borders and chasing garden birds. “We estimate the demand for animal


repellents exceeds £30million at retail prices and our sales already prove that deterring cats dominates the reason for purchase.


That’s why we have a comprehensive


selection of products designed to keep cats out of the garden, with a range of solutions to meet the needs of all gardeners.”


TheBigCheese range of cat repellents includes scent-based deterrents, physical barriers, solar powered sonic devises and even a motion-sensitive water jet protector that delivers a jet of cold water – effectively and safely sending cats packing! For more information on our full range of animal repellents, contact STV.
