Theoretically you might be able to teach a dog to NOT go somewhere, it takes a VERY long time and is VERY difficult to do, but forget it with a cat. Nothing, NOTHING you can spritz, sprinkle, spray, disperse or otherwise scatter about is going to stop a cat from going where it wants to go, and while they can be trained for some things, the concept of "KEEP OFF" just doesn't really compute with most cats.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT SCATTER MOTH BALLS AROUND, THEY ARE LETHALLY TOXIC TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS!
Get the shit that you don't want the animals getting into in a room or closet you can keep closed, seriously. Look, lifetime animal owner/breeder/rescuer her, there's some things that it's just NOT worth fighting the tide over. You live with animals you have to realize that THEY ARE ANIMALS, not little furry people. Stuff doesn't mean shit to them and one piece of stuff is just as inconsequential as the next piece of stuff.
It's just like having a toddler, you can't teach a toddler to keep their sticky paws off things, you get the things away from the toddler, SAME THING.

I've tried squirting the cat to get her to stop doing some stuff
but when she wanted to get somewhere she'd charge through it and get wet
so i gave up years ago and now i just keep the bedroom door shut as much as possible and vacuum twice a week

Nothing will work but training and conditioning and diligence.
Get a pop can and fill it with washers, pennies etc. Tape it up and throw it toward your dog when he is doing something you don't want him to do accompanied with a simple verbal command. ( Don't hit your dog with it.) The strange, loud noise will scare em and the verbal command will reinforce the behavior so that eventually the verbal command alone will do the trick. Be patient and consistent. Remember how stubborn you used to be?
Just make sure you catch them in the act and react quickly while they are doing it or you will end up with a confused puppy.
