Corner property suffering from littering

13

Posts

  • Sad to read your predicament @ajgisme and those of others here, unacceptable behaviour by thoughtless individuals. We have a corner property with a low boundary fence, we had a spate of (full) dog poo bags being thrown onto our grass by an early morning walker. Never did catch the perpetrator, but I had a motion (no pun intended) detector light installed and the problem stopped. It maybe that this is not a suitable option for you, but it seem to help deter our offender. I hope you can resolve your problem.

    @FourLeafClover I had forgotten about the dog poo bags! Not had that for a while, but good to hear your ahem, motion detector light dealt with the problem - could be the way to go for me. 🤔

    @plant pauper 🤣 ...maybe lights in the hedge that suddenly illuminate them, along with a booming voice: ' you are pixxing in my hedge!'...
    I yelled ( Foghorn Leghorn stylee) something similar out of my bedroom window at someone peeing ON MY GATE!!! I lived on a lane with hedges everywhere. I think the embarrassment made him suck it back in again. 🤣
    A motion detector light mightn't be a bad idea though. I got solar powered ones for my new garage until my spark comes and joins me up.

    @plant pauper  brilliant hohoho! ....a motion light might be less bother but your foghorn yelling must have been sooooooooooo satisfying! 😁😉

    @clematisdorset I do love a good yell.
    I also, at fourteen or so, learnt that really loud whistle. You know the one? Like a referee. It has come in useful more times than I can say and nobody expects it from an old lady. 🤣🥷
    Great for embarrassing my un-stepson when he wins rowing races. He always knows it's me from whatever distance. 😍

    Haha @plant pauper,and the referees' whistle is just brill! I could never do that - the wrong teeth maybe...very handy...especially when no one expects it 😁🎺🌬️🧙

    Yes, craftily placed motion detector lights could help. And perhaps a motion detecting claxon. :D

    I caught two female twenty-somethings trying to pee up our drive, out of sight of the road. Trousers went up rather quickly!!
    My wife caught another two young mums sunbathing on the drive, while their children were at a sports day on the field behind us. They were indignant. "It's empty and not being used".
    IT'S OURS!!!
    Wife didn't like to say it's used as a toilet, by humans, foxes, cats, and more!

    Sigh!

    @SalixGold yes a claxon is just right! 😁

    @rowlandscastle444, it is amazing how brazen people can be! 😬 Perhaps a box of used cat -litter  left out would put them off, or a few of those joke-shop poos....on the other hand, that would backfire wouldn't it...
