Time to practice your "clay pigeon" shooting.

Was once 3 sories above office car park. Mt colleague saw a cat sitting on the bonnet of his car. He took his pen and threw it at the cat, hittting the cat square on without damaging the car.

The moggy ran off quicksharp.

Would you like his number ? (Man, not moggy).

I get seagulls webbed-feet all over mine, its really annoying and then there's the crap - i bet you dont get that over your car from the foxes! Defo get a gun or find something they dont like, smell or sound and put that near the scoob.

Foxes? You sure it's foxes and not cats?

Foxes don't generally climb unless there is food involved, whereas moggies will sit on a warm car.........

I'll bring my .17 HMR round. That'll fix it

I reduced the fox population by one this morning. It wanted to play chicken with my car. The car was doing 50mph, it lost

haha thanks lads but I'm looking to go down the route of not pulling out a gun on them!!

I've just been told about some sonic sound thingy that is out of human range so may look at getting that. someone also suggested putting my own urine around to mark my teritory!! not sure if they're being serious!!

thanks!

wire your car up to the mains, it wont be on there for long, just remember to turn it off at the plug before you try to get in

Just be kind to them and give them some milk.......................and anti-freeze.
Its a lovely sweet taste and they slip peacefully off to sleep.
But be up early in the morning as you may find there are a few stiffs to conceal in the morning. :thumb

I wouldn't really do that though as it may be seen as cruel and illegal.

Hi, all, i have to same problem with bloody cats, paw prints every where and they seem to take a shine to my bonnet scoop and lay curled up around it, even if the car is stone cold, i own 3 dogs but they dont seem to bother the pesky things, i even brought one of those high pitch things that are supposed to irratate the ears but it does not seem to do the trick either.Any one have any humain ideas???

Easy, set your alarm so its sensitivity is at the max and after a few nights of that going off they probebly won`t come back. Yeh it will be annoying with the alarm going off for a few nights but in the long run it should get rid of the little bleeders.

If that doesn`t work my namesake me old fella will sit in your car all night for £3 per hour and one look at his mush will scare the witts out of em.

could try this

Having spoken to a ex game keeper I do have one suggestion.. however I dont like it and I am sorry if anyone is offended by this.

Apparently Fox's really don't like human urine... I have no idea what you are going to do with that infomation but good luck...

well finally gave the car a well needed wash, it looked great, used a clay bar and everything, i parked the car for maybe 3 hours one nite as was going out, come out to see the foxes on the car. I chased them off.

unfortunately this time they have scratched thru the paint. its getting personal now.............

depending where you are and where they are coming from the only way to remove them is to get hold of a live capture trap, just bait it in the garden catch them then drive them well away and release, or find a humane way of getting rid of them.

Otherwise I had also heard that human urine works but pissing on your car might affect the paintwork

This sounds like an excuse for a good scooby p1ss up Sorry couldn`t resist that one.

Or you could try live capture, then p1ss on them
