Because its an old wives tale and it doesn't work.    

I thought it must be!  I'd also heard that horses are scared by the smell of tiger pee - although how they recognise it I'll never know

My (insanely attached to the chickens) husband has been weeing around the hen house (nice!). Does this actually work or is it another old wives?

I didn't read that properly ( :roll: ) and thought you meant shoot Bodger...

Good idea for a poll

Having just been released from the dungeon WG you are now back on the naughty stairs  :arrow:  :evil:

Drop the nut on him Aunt Sally.    

[Aunt Sally]

He's a very naughty WG  

and his name is now in Aunty's 2008 big book TWICE  :roll:

Couldn't actually see any harm in having a poll about whether Bodger should shoot the fox or try to pee on it  :roll:

Because the big cats are strictly carnivores, their urine and droppings reflect their diet - and preferred taste.

Bodger, I know it doesn't help you at the moment, but I always used what we call hardware cloth here. It's a very strong, small mesh fencing that you need heavy cutters for. Beasties can't easily rip it open if properly tacked to the fencing and below ground. I still use it for my pigeons against all the hawks and cats that try to rip their way in - and fail.

I think that's what we call "weld mesh" Trillium

That's the stuff, Aunt Sally. I use the #2 metal mesh on all doors, screens, etc. to my bird houses. Never had a critter get through that stuff yet, not even mice. It's pricey but worth the peace of mind to keep our prized birds.
