I found this through the grapevine. Some person has actually made a garbage bag that repels animals. Can you imagine not having the neighbor’s cat rip through your garbage or preventing the knock over of your cans by raccoons. 
Terry Feinberg is the inventor of these mess saving bags and says this:
Discovering the perfect all natural repellent:
Many products on the market that claim to repel insects or animals have mixed results and many don’t work. Many have chemical ingredients that are a safety concern, while others might be natural but have unbearable odors, and still work poorly. My goal was to produce a safe, effective product that had a pleasant odor for all but turned away the animals and insects using all natural ingredients.
During the past 3 years of product development, an all natural repellent that proved to be effective in deterring a wide variety of animals and insects was formulated. This all-natural formulation worked so well that it blew away the competition.
If you have problems with rodents, raccoons or the neighborhood cat you may want to try them.
