Please don't use antifreeze as any kind of tool other than as intended for the engine. I have seen a cat who ate it, it is really, really terrible stuff. And seeing what the keeper of that pet goes through is also terrible.

I think the best approach is the secure your goods, dont leave dogfood or antifreeze on the roof. Or, invest in some very strong containers for your roof cargo.
