this will keep every animal alive away but wont be seen heard or smely by a human so its perfect.. just put a cloth with a few drops of olbas oil on the roof and 1 on the bonnet and they will never go near the car ever again.. i use this on my car as i have cats climb on my roof too and now they dont even walk past it...

Trap it in a cage or snare then hit it with a big spade before using same spade to bury it in the woods

100% never fails.....

the only shock you will get is that your car probably goes up in flames

You should only have to do it once but do it after a mot as it will fail the emissions

Melt some tar onto your bonnet & insert broken glass into the tar while it cools & sets.

Should do the trick

Thats an interesting one about Olbas oil. It is certain a very strong smell and it wouild seem overpowering to a cat I bet. Bit like the old fashioned moth ***** in the gearden.

Too many cats near me so my garden was used to be a cat toilet.

The water pistol works well and I don't get any furbags in my back garden now.
The trick is to soak the cat without it seeing you so the soaking is related to the location and not to you.

Paprika is another gem - they hate the smell of it so I have put some in there favourite spots.

The ultrasonic thing worked a bit but maybe the cat is old and deaf?

The local cats have now been educated.

Luckilly they don't like the scoob as it often narrowly misses them and growls!

I'm a dog person.

I've had chance to shoot many a cat in my time, but as irratating as they are, would i like it if someone shot my dogs, hell no!!!

Maybe an old established ironmonger or even an older clothes shop of some kind.

.177 Air-pistol.

But make sure you are shooting from a level or lower position. Otherwise you may ding you're paintwork.

Google "airsoft" fires BB's.... gas or electric, with a choice of full auto or single shot.... useful on a cat...... or nosey neighbours

You can even get "Tracer BB's" to light up the night sky like feckin NAM.... going the full hog and getting shell shock/rouge is optional though

.243 sorts them out a treat but leaves a mess in the garden, plus probably wake the neighbours
