Stop Google crawling a site at set times

[ske11]

Hi All

I know I can use robots.txt to block Google from pages on my site but is there a way to stop Google crawling my site at set times of the day? Or to request that they crawl at other times?

Thanks

I know Bing has a way to do that, but I haven't heard of Google releasing a similar tool.

Thanks for that Keri, do you know what Bing calls that option , it might give me a starting point for a Google search

Here's a link to Bing's help page on the tool. http://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/crawl-control-55a30302.
