A Sydney homeowner who has become fed up with late-night drinkers using his property as a makeshift toilet has taken matters into his own hands, setting up an ingenious, and so far very effective, “wee trap”.

For far too long, Stephen Bodnar from Waverley in Sydney has had to deal with inebriated individuals using his driveway as a place to relieve themselves.

Men and women alike have stumbled from nearby pubs The Charing Cross Hotel and The Robin Hood Hotel and onto his property for years, leaving an unpleasant reminder of their visit.

“The worst was when I’d go away, out to dinner or something, and then drive into my driveway and they’d wee’d right where my door opens,” he told 7NEWS.

“It was an unpleasant feeling.

…

Finally fed up, the electrician decided to install a $3,000 sprinkler and CCTV system to keep any perpetrators away - and it’s so far working like a charm.

“I’ve had no other option than to take matters (into) my own hands, I think,” he said.

The deterrent includes a motion detector which triggers a light and then a three-minute downpour between the hours of 6pm and 6am.

But Bodnar’s solution seems to be working just fine, with CCTV capturing the shock experiences by multiple late night drinkers have had when they receive a surprise drenching.

“I’m really happy with the outcome,” he said.
