Nuisance pets are good news for Garden Centres A staggering 73 per cent of garden owners who do not own a cat or dog are annoyed by their neighbours' pets using their garden as a toilet. That's a lot of garden owners potentially looking for a deterrent! And recent research has shown that 83 per cent of people would go to a garden centre to buy a solution. Guaber UK Ltd., manufacturers of the Get Off range of pet deterrents, recently carried out an omnibus survey* of over 1,000 adults in the UK to find out more about attitudes to pet fouling. Results show that it is a serious concern to a large part of the population, especially non-pet owners and families with young children. Fiorella Testa, Get Off product manager remarked "Garden centres are well placed to benefit from the demand for pet deterrents. Our research clearly shows that animal fouling is seen to be a serious issue, with people expecting to find effective solutions at their local garden centre". Guaber UK Ltd is implementing a Get Off consumer press campaign from June 2007, targeted at non-pet owners. It will raise awareness of the pet fouling problem and show that a simple and effective answer is available. The new Get Off website will also be launched at Easter. The Get Off range is designed to deter cats and dogs from fouling, digging up the garden and marking their territories. It includes treatments for problems outdoors and indoors. Get Off uses methyl nonyl ketone, a highly effective active ingredient which causes a harmless disorientation in cats and dogs. When exposed, animals quickly learn to avoid treated areas.
