  1. Apparently - my mum says this works - if you collect clippings of human hair and stuff them into bags made from the feet of old tights, and hang them out in the garden, the scent scares them off.


  2. moth balls or a medium to large doge

  3. They are usually attracted to the smell of food so if you are leaving bags with remains of food in them then you will always be bothered. I live in a rural area with mice, rats, weasels, fox's etc and we make very sure nothing is left out that they can get to.

    In saying that we still get the beggars coming round but I believe in live and let live as they have as much rights as we humans do.  

  4. You can buy sensors that detect movement & emit a high frequency sound, don't know if they work though. If you know the routes they use try obstructing it & placing cotton over it, it wont hurt them but they don't like it. Make it as difficult as possible to get in/out, ie, repair any holes in fences or hedges, also check under sheds/outbuildings as they sometimes make dens under them. Finally, make sure they cannot get to your dustbins, etc, as this will attract them.

    Hope you get it sorted, good luck.

  5. lighting, it usually scares them off.  

  6. Shotgun!

  7. send them to my place, i like them =)

  8. Tell them if they don't beat it you'll put on a song by Dido.

  9. Poison, traps a high wall or very secure fence would be harming them, soo...

    You could try moth balls, they wouldn't like the smell.

  10. Get a dog! Can't get a dog try a sensor light!
