My wedge seems to attract cats. I was muttering about it to myself a few weeks ago. A passer by exclaimed "well, that's the only pussy you're going to get with that car" laugh

They mark their territory with their st, you need to thoroughly disinfect the car cover and the top of the car.

What about a motion sensing air freshener? Detects movement and then scooshes the car with lovely lavender fragrance. Covers up the sent and scarpers them; worked for my problem with cats, only problem being the drunks stole it.

I have my car back in its under ground car park. Cats have to go through security office to get in.

I've had luck with getting rid of squirrels with a mothball type thingie that hangs on a closet bar... But that was in the engine room so more confined.

I like the mouse snaps, but put them on the outside of the cover. Foxes are smart about smarting. Or a big plastic owl on top, one that moves in the wind? The other treatment is hot pepper powder but that would be about as messy. Finally, in the country we splash some ammonia in the trash to keep the animals out. Maybe a saucer or two of that on top?

Anyway, once you break the habit, the critter will probably move on. Grady

But I don't like the angle for a shot. Anything with enough pop to move a fox will likely tear up the covers too.

Morning..Or not as it may be...So after spraying my cover with some citrus aftershave and spraying my urine all around the car and a small amount where the cats & Dogs have left their scent I'm faced with this again...frown
At least its not right in the middle of the roof this time...
(If you are just about to eat your porridge or coco pops then look away)


I even saw the mangey bastid rummaging through the neighbours bin last night but it gave my car a wide berth..Im going to have to buy another cover but have ordered some fox repellent spray to try on this one first as otherwise it will be a waste of money..
There used to be a healthy fox who used to kip on it and that was never a problem..The odd muddy print..There are two shimmying around of a night so I'm wondering if this was the once healthy one and is the one with mange now...

I would actually leave food out with mange treatment in if it didn't leave shyte on my car...FFS!!!....

What with this and all the grief i have been getting from my neighbours as regards to parking and recently having dodgy contractors in my flat ...




It has pushed my stress levels to a new high which makes me feel like selling my Wedge....Not good.....Ziga

A little more plumbing like that and your flat will be flat, burned to the ground. That's a mess. Is soldering copper a lost art? Here they just want to add an thread to switch to PVC.

Well TBH mate it could of been done in plastic...The Polish worker let the apprentice do it..I have had project managers from the local authority and the contractors in saying its appalling and they want it all ripped out and done again..Then at 14.30 today the same plumber turns up and says he has come to fit the bath...Im actually waiting to hear when the electricians are supposed to be coming in to run power for the shower?....Which i must add is still in its plastic with no frame to support it..I was told they would be hiring a different plumber...Its a right shambles..Another fine example of local authorities wasting public money!...I despair....

I've got the sneaky suspicion someone (not to mention the neighbours) is having a laugh (you do know what date it is....?)

Thanks Frank..Thats just put me off my cumberland sausage sarnie....hehe
Actually even without smelling it that looks to be a very healthy adult fox example of doo do..However the mingey one frequenting my Wedge is riddled with mange and has been bin raiding the local Caribbean putout..(Not takeaway as it's my neighbours bin) ..So i should imagine that the spices are playing havoc with its movements..One can only hope that it is a prankster with no sense of time or day, Let alone humour and is only "Choclit"...Although I'm not going to test that theory...It certainly doesn't smell like it...vomit

Always happy to keep your cholesterol levels in check biggrin its also to say thank you for the nausea cos of your pics this morning !yuck

Here's another idea; put Poppy somewhere in a guarded car park, mock up the shape of the car out of pvc pipe (or copper, you've got plenty, by the looks of it hehe ) put the cover on it and explosives under it, wait, as soon as the ginger menace (or the neighbour) shows up, blast it ballistic !

(if it concerns the neighbour after all, blowing him up might prove inpopular with the constabulary, beware !)

Not a bad idea mate..I did contemplate catching it in a box..Sealing it up and sending it to somewhere far far away...But knowing my luck id probably use a box with an old address label on it that i overlooked and it will be straight back here again...rage

I think your fox has got the runs - been eating too many dodgy chicken vindaloos out of dumpsters!

Christ - that soldering is bad! I bet he put tons of flux on and it isn't lead-free - I wouldn't drink from that pipe if it's for cold water if I were you....

Exactly...I have done it only twice myself and was better than that!....Its been like this for two weeks now with no bathroom or kitchen..Even going to the top dogs has proved fruitless...If they don't pull their finger out of their backside then I'm going to my local MP....

Some good news though...After a strong mix of Dettol sprayed all over the cover and around the car no sign of Mr Sheetpants...A neighbour walking passed last night was horrified as they thought i was covering it in petrol...Yeah..I wish it did run on disinfectant too....hehe
