    ... you have that one shot.

    Maybe a bit extreme :D

    You will never stop it, as I learned when I had shops. Every morning I had to get a mop and bucket with disinfectant and wash the doorway out. No amount of lights, CCTV did anything.

    You have to accept that some pee (and other unmentionables), and others clear it up.

    If you know which pub they're coming from, I'd be tempted to make a complaint to the landlord, copying in the local licensing dept. They wouldn't want their licence revoked due to their customers being a nuisance.

    ^ Liquid what, PN?

    Yeah, filter and I CBA to change it ... Liquid 455. Smells of poo. It's like stink bombs, but lasts longer outside than cheaper versions.

    Another vote for electric fence. In prepartion to keep the dog in that you are planning on, but may never get around to, purchasing.

    We have thought of putting a plant pot in the way of the stop outside our gate, though they might then !!!! in it instead.
    Nettles, or hollies.
    Or pyracantha in the pot ... or a yucca plant.
