What is Antigadin

The Antigadin agent is a spray with a smell that is practically imperceptible to human perception. The product is sold in 100 and 150 ml plastic bottles. The composition includes a unique complex of enzymes, water and perfume. The manufacturer is Khimola LLC, Russia.

How it works, when to use

Antigadin was created to wean a pet from coping with natural needs in places that are not intended for this purpose. The smell of the product scares the cat away, and she stops peeing in the treated area.

An additional benefit is the deodorant properties of Antigadin - it helps to get rid of the smell of urine, even old ones. To do this, the agent is sprayed in places already chosen by the cat as its toilet, and potentially suitable for this; as a rule, these are corners and space under tables and beds. Antigadin is used only on a damp surface. It is very convenient to do this immediately after cleaning. The surfaces on which Antigadin is planned to be sprayed should be washed without the use of synthetic detergents, as this can result in the destruction of the Antigadin enzyme complex and a decrease or loss of its effectiveness.

The product is a biospray containing a complex of enzymes, the smell of which scares the cat away from unwanted places for the toilet

The procedure for using Antigadin is as follows:

1. Remove the animal from the room where treatment is planned (for example, close it in another room or corridor).
2. Remove the protective cap from the spray bottle, shake the bottle.
3. Spray the product at the selected place; it should be sprayed abundantly and thoroughly from a distance of 25–30 cm from the surface, covering the entire territory of the improvised cat litter with the spray.
4. Do not let the animal into the room for 2 hours, since it is during this time that the deterrent effect develops.
5. Treat daily and regularly until the cat forms a persistent aversion to using inappropriate places as a toilet. The animal will come up, sniff at the places it has previously chosen and visited with a “toilet” purpose, and then leave.

The effect of using the product will increase if, in parallel, you create favorable conditions for the pet to visit the tray:

• choose the right tray size;
• buy quality filler;
• keep the tray clean;
• place it in a calm and secluded place, where no one interferes with the pet;
• use litter trainers such as Himola's Cat Toilet Training;
• praise and reward the cat for using the litter box.

An untrained cat can see a toilet change in a variety of objects.

Advantages and disadvantages of Antigadin

The benefits of Antigadin include:

• efficiency:

  • the tool allows in a fairly short time to wean a cat to relieve himself in the wrong places due to the frightening effect of its smell and the formation of a corresponding conditioned reflex, while there is no conflict between the cat and its owner, no measures of force are applied to the animal;
  • the product allows you to overcome the persistent and pungent smell of urine that appears in rooms where cats untrained to the litter box are kept, which is difficult to remove;
• safety - the composition is represented by components of natural origin and can be used in rooms that are used simultaneously with a cat by small children and elderly people;

• ease of use:

  • convenient form of application in the form of a spray;
  • can be used in cats of all ages, starting from 2 months;
  • Antigadin does not leave stains and streaks, therefore it can be used on any surface without fear of ruining it (but for reasons of precaution, it seems advisable to treat a small area of a particularly capricious surface in a test mode beforehand);
  • the smell felt by the human sense of smell is practically absent, therefore Antigadin can be used in all premises where it is necessary, including the kitchen and the nursery;
• economic benefit - Antigadin is more affordable than funds intended for this purpose from foreign manufacturers.

Tray training requires consistent and regular action.

The disadvantages of Antigadin include:

• The possibility of allergic reactions to the components of the product in both humans and animals. In this case, the use of the product should be discontinued. Allergy symptoms are usually:

  • itchy skin;
  • rash on the skin;
  • runny nose and sneezing;
  • in severe cases, there may be bronchospasm and shortness of breath.
• Scant data on the composition of the product in his instructions.

• Insufficient effectiveness of the product - the cat can continue to ignore the tray and relieve himself in the wrong places. In these situations, you need to make sure that:

  • there are no medical problems in the cat, which may be cystitis in a kitten or urolithiasis in an adult animal, when they, due to strong urge to urinate, are unable to get to the tray;

    

    If the pet continues to ignore the tray, it is worth excluding diseases of the urinary system.

  • the product is used correctly in accordance with its instructions;

  • there are no problems causing the cat to avoid the litter box:

    • the tray is small or large for a pet;
    • both the tray and the filler have harsh and cat-repelling odors, including detergents for toilet care;
    • the tray is located next to the place where the cat drinks or eats;
    • the tray is located in a walk-through place where the pet is often disturbed;
    • untimely cleaning of the tray.

There are actually a lot of means for scaring cats away from places that are not intended for their natural needs. They are found in different price segments and have a combination of differing characteristics.

Against this background, Antigadin looks attractive because for the formation of an avoidant type of behavior in a cat, it is necessary to develop a conditioned reflex, which implies a certain number of repeated treatments to reinforce the habit of using the tray. Antigadin does not have a pungent odor and contains natural ingredients, which makes it safe and acceptable for consistently strengthening the desired habit. The use of irritating substances due to their aggressiveness is not permissible in all animals and people. It undoubtedly contributes to avoidance for the duration of the action of the drug, but with an insufficient number of repetitions in some cats, the conditioned reflex does not have time to form, and the animal may again return to an undesirable pattern of behavior.

How to make Antigadin yourself

A tool that can scare a pet away from an undesirable place for toilet affairs can be made independently. As a basis, you can take:

• Table vinegar - Acetic acid in a low concentration, intended for table use, has a deterrent effect on cats, and also helps to eliminate urine odor. It is affordable and environmentally friendly.
• Ground coffee and spices. They should be mixed and placed in low wide containers, covered with lids with holes that do not prevent the spread of odor - the aroma of coffee and pepper will scare the pet away.

• Garlic or onion:

  1. Grate.
  2. Let the gruel brew in water and wipe the cat's "crimes" with the resulting infusion.

• Citrus juice - you can add fresh citrus juice to the water to wipe out unwanted areas for cat litter, for example, 2 tablespoons per liter of water; make infusions on citrus peel or wipe the surfaces with slices or fresh citrus peels. Lemon is especially good in this quality, which is an excellent cleaning and deodorizing agent.

  

  Smells of citrus and spices can scare a cat away

• Essential oils that can be directly pipetted onto surfaces or used in wiping solutions. They have cleansing, deodorizing, healing, and some disinfecting properties. The following oils will be able to deter the cat:

  • peppermint;
  • lemongrass;
  • neroli;
  • lavender;
  • fir;
  • citrus fruits.
• Zvezdochka balm, which also contains essential oils, has a pungent odor and irritating effect.

All folk remedies should be pre-tested on a small area of the surface for possible changes in its color and the formation of streaks, as well as spots. It should also be borne in mind that most of them are complex and strong allergens, and in this matter, vinegar looks the safest, and it is preferable to use it in homes where allergic people and animals live.
