A-hole neighbors

The title says it all. We live in a high end neighborhood, but the house next door has, regrettably, been purchased by the Indian nation. There is a commune of kids and few adults. We never have the dogs out unsupervised, but the kids have taken quite a shine to ringing our doorbell and then going behind our bushes to watch and make our girl go nuts when we aren't home. I'm thinking I might plant poison ivy behind the bushes as no one in my family is allergic and putting cinnamon oil on my doorbell. The adults in the house don't care. The Indian nation doesn't care. No one seems to want to be responsible for these asshole children.

Re: Asshole neighbors

Hmmmm putting race aside this needs to be addressed by adults! It's ashamed because it doesn't sound like any are looking after the kids

I was in the same boat about 11 years ago neighbor's kid used to ring the bell and run to his house my CC did not like it at all after telling him and his farther several times to stop he did not . one day bell rang it was in the summer so door was open just a screen door was shut I hear some thing falling down the stair and smash against the door . by the time I got there the kid is running to his house and yep Ty got him . I thought great I'm getting sued and my dog will be put down about 10 minutes later him and his farther ring the bell and the kid says sorry I wont do it again :)

Disconnecting the door is probly best, but I like the cinnamin oil, or better yet, habanero oil, on the doorbell idea......

I don't even know if my doorbell works, Apollo's taken its place! The last time someone used it was almost two years ago when some kids walked up our driveway trying to sell candy. Apollo was very upset to discover they'd gotten up the driveway without him noticing. For some strange reason not one single neighborhood kid has tried to sell us candy since......

put a motion detector sprinkler out front. Or a nice speaker in the shrubs that sounds like a killer beast is in them. Or drive 1000 nails through some ply wood, lay it on the ground and hang candy bars off the door bell

Get some industrial glue boards , the kind you use to catch rodents and make a big enough to look like a matt and place it so it is immovable infront of the doorbell, see how many kids you can catch or at least see how many pairs of shoes you can collect hahahahaha

OH, this is AWESOME!

I'd disconnect the doorbell - we use a wireless one, that only rings half the time anyway...
Then, I think I'd invest in the motion-detector sprinkler... seems like the nicest method...
If that doesn't work, there are many options above that sound promising. :)
