There's a pump spray available from PetSmart (dunno the name brand, my wife bought it recently) that has a scent which discourages the cats but doesn't bother our less-sensitive human noses. It's a nontoxic organic concoction for furniture, carpets, & you can even put it on your plants. Should keep the cats away, but of course this won't help the WAF thing. However once she hears the improvement she may not be so opposed to the traps' appearance?
Hiding Tube Traps???
I'd like to add tube traps to the corners of my room. However, due to a low WAF and a pair of long-clawed cats I'd like to hide them behind some decorative screens. The screens are basically a tri-fold wood frame with a thin layer of cotton stretched over them. Since the screens would have minimal effect on the bass in the room, I suspect that having them in front of the traps wouldn't significantly reduce their effectiveness. Any comments or suggestions as to how to hide the traps?
