So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by traffic in the busy street we live on, the current two have bit people. I’m not one to care how someone lives, but these folks make the rest of our slum neighborhood look downright utopian.

I’ve tried taking to them, they’re stupidly hostile. I’ve put in complaints with the city, noise complaints with the police, they don’t do anything about it. Does anyone have advice on dealing with this? I’m tired, at my wits end, and my small town tactics aren’t as easy to pull off in a proper city.

    Actually, catnip was on my garden list already! I was planning on getting fast and loose with the seeds so this won’t take much extra.

      If you want to get really nefarious and don’t mind getting a little legally sketchy, bug spray normally kills grass in the areas that it’s sprayed in. If you happen to draw rude things in someone’s front lawn there’s no way to stop it from showing aside from spraying more, or just waiting for it to grow out
