Do they work ?

I've rencently cleaned one up and it made a mess of the front of my car and there is no more bodykit...

so for prevention, do these roo shoo whistle things that you can get in auto shops and servos work ?

What the hell has that got to do with the OP's question?


Oh and OP, I've also thought of getting this, not sure If they work but the only cars I've heard of hitting a roo DON'T have Shoo Roo's. About 5 years ago I travelled Aus with family and the car had Shoo Roo's, Did not see 1 roo near the road.


Note: Do not work against cows...... mamoru.gif

Roo Shoes, Im not going to lie..
Do not work.

They may be proven to work, but the amount of them I've hit in my old mans truck when it had like 10 of the bastards on it amazes me.

I had a couple on my VK Calais and did numerous trips from Adelaide to Sydney and they seemed to work a treat!! thumbsup.gif

I think they let the roo know your coming earlier than just the drone of your exhaust at the last minute, gives em time to get out of the way,......also to note the airflow where they are placed may change the "whistle" frequency thus changing the range a little...

Do they work?
Moderately -hence cheap enough and better than no ShooRoo at all!
