French farmers have a devised a clever way of dealing with hordes of squatters on their land - and it involves truckloads of manure.
Tractors were let loose on a farm in Hautes-Vosges to drive around in circles spraying a brown sludgy-looking liquid in their wake.
Scores of white caravans and cars were parked up on the outskirts of the land - in addition to one red Ferrari.
Desperate "Travellers" ran after the tractors as they spread the off-putting substances with one even managing to hold onto the side where he shouted and shook his fist angrily.
But their efforts were of no avail as the enraged man eventually tumbled off the vehicle and others were unable to catch up.
Local media reports the farmers decided to take matters into their own hands after 'not receiving any help from the police' to 'get rid of an illegal gypsy camp'.
The farmers spayed liquid manure (slurry) from their tanks to make the area so unpleasant the squatters would be forced to vacate.
Slurry is made up of a mixture of manure and water and is a known tactic used by farmers to get rid of unwanted visitors.

The incident follows a number of complaints from European farmers over trespassers on their land.
'The sprayed liquid is pig manure. The smell is so strong and long-lasting that the air is unbreathable for several days.'
