    A Wee Problem

    While the new garage is being built the bike is in the carport under a plastic bike cover.

    The problem is a neighbourhood dog is relieving himself on the plastic cover.

    The smell is hellish and the whole experience of taking the cover off and on is quite revolting.

    Any one else have/had this problem and any suggestions (non violent please) on how to make the plasticy smell of the cover not so attractive to my peeing friend?

    Non violant method is to use pepper and even the citronella oil works good until it rains

    Cool

    animals (cats and dogs) also hate the smell of pepper....


    Also if you see the dog or cat doing it, have a jolly good water gun and aim and fire at it... it will stop the critters coming back.

    another way is rig up a small electical current so that when they are peeing against the plastic they get a small shock.... they wont do it again.
    oh you said non violent.

    Ummmm why not speak to the dog owner and get them to tie the dog up... so that it doesnt wander all over your section.... as dogs aren't meant to wander off their own properties.

    Put the hose on it, then citronella next.

    The problem is I have never even seen a dog in the carport. The sneaky bugger does it when we are out.

    Will try the citronella.

    Swift boot up thier arse usually cures it. As non violent as you want it to be cause they are still alive and relatively (sp) healthy afterwards.

    Yup cats don't like citronella oil. If it is your cat spraying inside cause it is stressed/marking its territory the best thing is Feliway. Go into a vet clinic & get some info about it.

    As for dogs I've seen Citronella in natural flea treatments & kennel cleaners so I don't know if it is a deterrent but anything is worth a go.
    Skunk off might work it is used to keep dogs off gardens and is in garden centres, vet clinics & maybe in supermarkets. I'm not sure how it works but I've heard people say it works in the garden.
    Cleaning the cover with jiff and disinfectant really helps kill the smell of pee.
    Good luck

    Cool

    Can you buy that orange plastic fencing stuff and put that around your carport... sure its a pain to have to untie it... but after a while you will find a quick and easy way of undoing it real quick. that would also keep the buggar out.

    Or call the dog rangers, they can do a drive by and maybe catch the mutt.
    Then the owners will have to pay a hefty fine to get their mutt back. They will soon learn to keep the dog in its own section.
    The dog rangers can also give you a cage to catch the dog in....
    the rangers come and collect dog and cage..

    The trouble is, if you just clean the cover, some of the smell may linger (dog's noses are millions of times more sensitive than ours), so the dog will just pee on it again. Don't clean it with anything with ammonia in it, as that will make animals more likely to pee on it.
    I suggested citronella, as I knew it worked with cats, so figured dogs would be the same. The trick is to use something that dogs don't like the smell of. Eau de cats arse, mayhap? I dunno...
    ... and that's what I think.

    Piss in the bottle of a water pistol and next time the dog does it, squirt him with it and send him smelling like your bike cover.

    Catch it, take it to the pound. If the owner can't control their dog they don't deserve to own it.
