Whether you want to prevent your cat from scratching up the couch or deter stray cats from using your front yard as their personal litter box, a DIY cat repellent spray can go a long way in keeping unwanted furry guests away.

For a super-easy recipe, simply boil orange peels in water and strain the liquid essence to create an orange-scented spray. You can also try creating a solution out of cinnamon, rosemary, and lavender, or another solution out of lemon oil and eucalyptus oil.

Whatever you decide to do, do not attempt to deter cats with recipe that involve cayenne pepper or moth balls, as those can be toxic to animals.
