I'll try anything at this point. Doesn't the statue have to be in a certain location or facing a certain direction or something?
I've heard upside down and facing away from the house. The basic concept is that you must make him uncomfortable. Let me just say that this is Catholic culture, not doctrine!! However, it works. You can generally go to a Catholic bookstore or supply store and they have small plastic statues for just this purpose. Then, once it sells, you're supposed to excavate him and place him in a place of honor. I'm jus' sayin'.
