You can easily tape pee pads up on the vertical surface and place one on the floor.

Always follow the instructions on the products. For edible plants, make sure the food plant is listed on the label and follow instructions on maximum number of applications, spray interval and harvest interval.

The more ‘persistent’ these chemicals are, the longer they take to break down, and the more harmful the effects on human bodies and the environment. So we always recommend getting a less ‘persistent’ box hedge caterpillar spray if you can. If your cat is spraying near windows or exterior doors, an outside cat may be spraying in those areas outside. A thorough clean-up can help. Try to remove any trace of the outside cat's sprayed scent that your cat may be smelling, whether it's on doors, walls, windows, etc. You can use soap and water or an enzymatic cleaner.Certain types of plants will naturally repel caterpillars and other pests and can easily be incorporated into your vegetable garden or flower bed to keep them away.
