Hope someone can give me some sensible ideas, although slightly off topic. I am currently renovating a house for rent in scotland, not in the best of areas. The house is currently vacant and has pedestrian right of way on footpaths around the house (access to the other 2 houses)
- I recently had a skip hire for rubbish and the local kids scattered a lot of the contents in the street, I will need to hire another soon how best to stop them? I thought to empty a tin of paint over the contents but this would dry after a day so probably wouldnt deter them.
- Some of the local kids take a shortcut through my hedge and across the garden despite being warned from doing this, their parents are obviously not bothered, not that I know who their parents are as I dont live in the property. Any ideas on how to deter them? I thought of laying some fishing line at ankle level, but they would no doubt just cut this in daylight when I am not there. A big bag of chimney soot would do nicely towards ruining their expensive trainers but alas not so available these days.
this is a serious request. Any help appreciated.
