    I've two ideas: something adapted from this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goZ2DqMnaGc which as pointed out may get a reaction.


    Or, provide a funnel with a target painted on it so that most of the wee end up underground..



    Maybe a few photographs triggered as in the first idea. You could then post up a "Willie of the week" photo..

    Why? Do you think chaps don't get 'caught short' south of the border? I can assure you they do, it's a horrible problem around where I work!

    Motion sensor connected to a flashgun. So they think they've been photographed, but haven't
  • If a physical barrier is not possible to stop them getting "around the bush" to urinate, then I would suggest a very bright motion sensor light. (I've assumed they do this at night/hours of darkness.)

    Also try the pot plant option to see if that is a deterrent.

    I am guessing that a reveller in need of a wee is going to go for an "easy option", so the more "obstacles" you put in their way, they will (hopefully) go elsewhere....ideally the WC in the pub!!

    (Guessing the lack of rain means that the smell doesn't get naturally washed away frequently! Eew!)

    Clear nylon fishing line threaded around various loops and supports at knee height, and connected to an assembly of old tin cans, bells, and such.

    No. I asked if you thought this kind of thing only went on in Scotland. Because it doesn't!
