Marten protection – How do you drive away roof and car martens safely, effectively and in an animal-friendly manner?

Marten bites: better safe than sorry

Marten bites: Better safe than sorry – Not every insurance company pays out for marten damage. Marten tracks on your car? Hurry up: If the stone marten has chosen your car as a hiding place, it can be dangerous when parking in unfamiliar areas. Conspecifics recognize the scent mark of the domestic species and immediately defend their territory. The male stone martens in particular express their aggression with a hearty bite into hoses and cables. But the insulation material on the hood is also torn to shreds as a demonstration of power.

Consequential damage due to marten bites

Consequential damage caused by marten bites is considerable. Cars often break down due to marten damage. The electronics fail or there are small fires caused by destroyed insulation material, which can catch fire on hot engine parts. Often the only solution is to have the car towed to the nearest garage. As part of the repair, not only must bitten hoses and cables be replaced and encased as marten protection. An engine wash or alternatively cleaning with the STOP&GO scent mark remover is necessary to completely remove the marten’s scent mark and prevent further marten damage.
