That would be my suggestion also. Here is one from Amazon.
Hoont Motion Activated Jet Blaster - Yard and Garden Animal Rodent Repellent https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FP9PSWL/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_1H2sDbQK0TERN
Might I suggest this bat wind chime for more spookyness?
Monsiter QE Wind Chimes Halloween Decoration，Outdoor Large Windchime with 4 Aluminum Tubes，Unique Bat Wind Chime for Garden Patio Decor-Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B3C49JK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SYTRACSJW5M0J8V2GJHH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
My best friend got me this for my birthday last year and I love it.
Maybe the chimes / noise will add to their annoyance. 😂
Advion works wonders on getting rid of roaches fast. We live next to some right filthy pigs, as well. It's been a four year nightmare, but at least our side is bug free. The bait doesn't smell, and you'll notice the bodies piling up by the end of the day. It has a super fast knockdown rate.
If I was in your position, I’d do to them what they’re doing to you. Put speakers against your ceiling and play music with bass. But I’m petty like that. In any case here’s a hammer noise strike back- literally a hammer to bang on your ceiling without (I assume) damaging it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294203345758?chn=ps&var=592878668852&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=592878668852_294203345758&targetid=1264870805264&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9021494&...
Get a white noise machine and soundproof your ceiling, something like this might help: BXI Soundproofing Foam - Closed Cell Foam - Self-adhesive - Great for Noise & Thermal Insulation - 16'' X 12'' X 1.8'' - 2 pack (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WHRLLRS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FGCNNZCQ550DY53XNT5Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
DON’T engage with them. Ignore them outside and if they try to say something to you, just tell them you don’t know what they’re talking about.
Get this amazon branded security camera; it records any movement and notifies you real-time while movement occurs. Even if they were to steal your camera, footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud immediately. There are no required monthly fees.
Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera, Works with Alexa https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C4UY0JK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_n61RCb26R1ED4
Tell your neighbor he needs to train his dog to STFU, it's likely barking to alert him of strangers nearby. It's a training issue, not anything you're doing. What does he expect you to do, teleport into the building from the vehicle?
I recently saw these battery powered ultrasonic devices on Amazon recently meant for just that, to get dogs to stop barking. I'm not sure how well they work as we didn't get one yet. I was looking at them because my wife & I just recently rescued a 6 year old dog & although she's an amazing dog so far, we're working on training her in a few areas she's lacking.
The biggest issue we're currently are working on is she goes fucking nuts if the 3 pit bulls are let out onto the lot behind me. They get let out several times a day & if I happen to be walking her out back or she's out on the cable lead staked into the ground because I'm playing nerf ball gun with her (best $30 I spent in a long time!) she loses it as do the neighbors dogs & we'd like to teach her to ignore them.
I was just about to say this! I live in the same type of older apartment and a white noise machine is great. You get used to it. I have an air purifier that I run while I’m home that sounds just like a white noise machine and purifies the air at the same time. I got it on Amazon a couple years back: https://www.amazon.com/LEVOIT-Purifier-Home-Allergies-Pets/dp/B07VVK39F7/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=air%2Bpurifier&qid=1610485976&sprefix=air%2Bpurif&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1

if cost is an issue you can buy an outdoor fabric screen that attaches to the fence https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DOHMBPI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've usually lived in places that were considered good neighborhoods with low to no crime, it wasn't until I became a city dweller that I had to get into the habit of always keeping my doors locked. It's an easy habit to get into and sounds like it might be worth it in your situation.
Something like this might also help with the issue of your neighbor's son turning your doorknob and making your dog bark. https://www.amazon.com/Safety-Covers-Doorknob-Lockable-Design/dp/B07DN895WP/ref=pd_lpo_60_t_1/136-9111432-3157409?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07DN895WP&pd_rd_r=0cb1c6fe-670a-4582-aab3-421a77e435dc&pd_rd_w=ivUOs&pd_rd_wg=NMPCD&pf_rd...
buy some of these and place in the apartment on the floor when you go: https://www.amazon.com/Gagster-Irritator-Annoying-Noise-Maker/dp/B0B2K75LHM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1GSIOKIOG3UFG&keywords=random+noise+maker&qid=1671562855&sprefix=random+noise+maker%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFPT1Q2NkoxWlJJVkkmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA4MzI5ODVORUJXUTNFVTlSRzQmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDkwODcwNTMwWjVDSkJUVkJDOUwmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
In closets and bathroom etc.
leave a few wind up alarm clocks when you go have them go off at different times.
Leave a camera doorbell up so u can enjoy his reactions, you can pick it up later.
You can stop by to renew these devices now and then
Second the Blink recommendation. They have a lot of options (indoor, outdoor, wireless/Wi-Fi, wired/usb, doorbells, etc.) and if you look on Amazon quick you'll find steep holiday discounts.
This is the basic 3 outdoor camera kit, but you can do 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 cameras. You can also get indoor add ons, etc.

You already know she has a terrible temper and if you approach them when she is already screaming, you will simply be the new target. Report them to building management every yelling match.
cut down the noise while your working with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/XTUGA-Recording-Microphone-Isolation-Soundproof/dp/B096FQLLQZ/ref=sr\_1\_8?crid=O55SCF5EEMD2&keywords=sound+booth+foam&qid=1669566922&sprefix=sound+booth%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-8
Soundcore by Anker Life Q30... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q8C3LHT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
i have these! its about $70-80, so on the lower spectrum of cost. they are not as effective as sony or bose, but i love them. the noise cancelling does not truly eliminate all sound, but it gets rid of a lot of the ambient noises. plus, when my neighbor dog is barking or i just want some peace and quiet, ill watch tv with them and i dont hear a thing outside.
I think you are, I'm just saying what's next to maybe help but I don't think you should have to do more.
Maybe try to "isolate" your door. You could put one of those draft stoppers under the door (Like this on amazon). Or a door insulation like this (also amazon link). (I think it's over the top but TFT might not stop complaining).
The good thing about this is that it could help keep the heating in too 😅
Put that frosted covering over the bottom part of your window glass to cut down how much can be seen.
Second comment: I'll help you though. Since you know the owner is the woman's mother, you won't win here. Next time, don't confront or talk to this woman anymore (Again, I dealt with one who was nasty because I tapped on the floor a couple of times to tell them they were way too loud; she was nasty to me ever since and started taunting me when I had to escalate). The difference was she was an independent renter and not a family member so management had to respond to complaints even if they weren't going to do all that much except send a nuisance letter to her and tell me to call the cops.
It's not clear if the owner of her place also owns yours too. If I were in this position, I would absolutely move back the fan in its proper place so you have some white noise. Get a fan or a white noise generator for your kids. You can try to normalize sleeping with in-ear headphones for your kids. If your neighbors get angry about about the fan, tell them "I'm sorry you don't like my fan." and move on. Don't even mention the sex anymore.
The walls are really thin at my building but the white noise from my air purifier seems to take care of most normal sounds and it muffles louder sounds but definitely not screaming. My current neighbor just moans during sex and I pray to god it stays that way lol. But if it's ever too disturbing and my new neighbor (who owns her unit) turns into a violent screamer like the former, I bought this to help me sleep: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T6FNLQV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details. Maybe get one for your kids too.
Go on about your business. Consider moving if your lease is up.
Let kids be kids. Get some sound dampening blackout drapes. maybe something like this
appliance isolation pads should help quiet a bit. I would buy them for them since they are pretty cheap and they stopped drying at night. https://www.amazon.com/MyLifeUNIT-Absorbing-Anti-Vibration-Protector-Treadmill/dp/B07C2QDDT4/ref=sr\_1\_14?crid=22TUMGN26NI62&keywords=appliance%2Bvibration%2Bisolator%2Bpat&qid=1666364231&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjk3IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI...
You need 17.4kHz. on this model it is setting one https://www.amazon.com/Broox-Repeller-Ultrasonic-Repellent-Waterproof/dp/B07X454SH8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=RH37RO3RS76&keywords=ultrasonic+pest+repeller+outdoor&qid=1665497264&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI3LjE2IiwicXNhIjoiNy4wMSIsInFzcCI6IjYuNjMifQ%3D%3...
It is time to go make friends with them!!! You cannot really mess with them until you know them. Go make friends.
Show up at one or two of their parties. Be friendly, have a drink, be social. Then hide this gadget somewhere in the house. Hide several of them. They beep at random times and supposedly have a 3 year battery life. The gift that keeps on giving.
Also get to know their immediate neighbors. One way to discourage loud late night parties is to ensure that the party throwers are woken up very early by some "normal" noise like a loud muffler or a rooster or some such noisy part of normal life. If they normally have a party until late on a Saturday night, Sunday morning is the perfect time to mow the lawn starting at 6am or 8 am. And doesn't one of the neighbors need a new muffler? One that is loud? RIght outside their windows? To rev a few hours after they have a party? Or maybe you can convince the neighbor to put in a hopscotch or 4 square or basketball area right outside their house so the kids can play games early in the morning? I know at one point the neighbors upset my father over something. So we got all of those things painted on our brand new driveway. Even when Bro and I were not playing on them, usually some neighbor kids were. It drove those neighbors nuts and they could not complain. It was usually the neighbor who irritated Dad who's grandkids were always out there playing and making the noise. His own grandkids drove him nuts for a couple of years by playing outside his bedroom window early in the morning before school. For years.
Got it. I've seen another version that vibrates a bit different I believe, also it's the only device available in Amazon now:
It's not the same right?
Not to parrot everyone else here, but you do need to call the police, make reports, press charges EVERY SINGLE TIME she comes on to your property.
In addition to that - Why haven’t your put up a fence yet so that she can not mow onto your property? Even something as simple as this
It’s only 3 feet tall and will still allow sunlight for your garden.
No problem at all! I also found you this guitar package if you're interested.
It's not that expensive. You can record the noise with your phone and record the decibel reading on video at the same time.
If he's saying threatening things, such as burning the building down and threatening someone's safety, then that is grounds for calling the police. If you are able to record what he is saying - get some really sound-sensitive recording equipment such as this or maybe something even better/stronger if you can get it, if this does not work to pick up his words clearly, I would show these recordings as proof to management and the police dept. and build a case on him. If you are within your own apt you can record what others are saying in their own apt if you are able to capture it. You just cannot legally record them while they are in their apt from the hallway.
If your management and police still cannot do anything with such proof, I would ask management to move you to another unit ASAP so you can feel comfortable living in your own home with hopefully better neighbors.
>We have aosu cameras
Hey there.. Sorry for opening this older thread but there''s not alot of mention of AOSU cams on here.. I saw this offer AOSU Amazon Link and the reviews are good and there's an additional $100 coupon which brings it down quite a bit. How do you like it's software? Quick push notifications? Quality?
I assume you already have a camera if you know she does it when your not home.
All fences 3ft and under can easily be jumped by dogs but this dog is on a leash, let us all be grateful she isnt one of those who lets the dog out without one.
300 got temp fence sounds like your trying to surround the yard rather than just make it very hard for that dog to pee there. If you get just one box of these, you could just keep this from being a shortcut across your lawn: https://www.amazon.com/WamBam-Fence-WF29001-Garden-Metal/dp/B00IHZW490/ref=sr_1_12?crid=2NEVPRU4DD7D4&keywords=temporary%2Bfencing&qid=1661539625&sprefix=temporary%2Bfencing%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-12&th=1 Six ft on a side (along the corner she cuts) would keep her off possibly? I hope she doesnt cut more than six ft off the corner. This option is 76 dollars and i think quite good looking.
Look up temporary fence either on google or your local hardware stores, they may have to have it ordered and sent to the store.
Keep mace with your when going outside in case the dog gets loose. You cant do anything for a possibly aggressive dog until something happens, protect yourself.
BTW, an even cheaper option is a motion detection sprinkler.
I have a Wyze cam I bought because I have a neighbor from hell. It's an outdoor cam, but I didn't even bother mounting it outside; I stuck it in a window and pointed it in the direction I wanted to record and it picks up everything perfectly. Beautiful clear view.
if her bass speaker is on the floor, https://www.amazon.com/BXI-Vibration-Isolation-Excellent-Frequencies/dp/B07Y3QWJSG/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1A6YIQWLCPF00&keywords=sound+isolation+for+bass&qid=1660433417&sprefix=sound+isolation+for+bass%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-5 or the like, look into bass isolation
i had a better idea, https://www.amazon.com/JEF-World-Golf-Automatic-Putting/dp/B003UFEA6M/ref=sr_1_3?crid=39BDFMC1NKAQO&keywords=golf+ball+returner&qid=1660433146&sprefix=golf+ball+returner%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-3 this is much more likely to keep going

Put up sodium security lights. Neighbors hate them, but they're legal and there's nothing they can do about it. Light 'em up!
Not for revenge, or anything like that, but I would recommend putting a high voltage sodium security light on that side of the property. Right inside the property line. Gotta be safe!
Buy a couple of these (with your picture, of course) and stick one in your window that faces her house. Move it around if you have multiple windows. Take the other and put it in your yard facing her house. Have it at the farthest point and then randomly move it a few feet closer to her house daily or multiple times a day. Or splurge and get 5 of them and have them all around your yard, patio and house :D

We had MILs house treated over and over, finally we used that stuff and got rid of them.
Yup. I was going to suggest mirror balls.
look after something like this in your country, there are solution for EVERY form of fence. after that, they have to throw it over the fence, so, some cameras wouldnt be a bad idea.
make sure it is allowed in your country.
Mr.X from Resident Evil lives above me so I know how you feel. I swear these people are not human. They slam and stomp up to 3AM nearly every single night. They give no fucks and I am at my wits end.
I have complained to management twice and politely asked them to stop stomping so late into the night. It has gotten worse and now I think they do it on purpose. I am thinking of buying this to see how it works as a quick google search shows success.
I am also considering breaking my lease and fighting with the building manager not to pay any fees as the situation is unbearable.
As an incentive for them to lower the volume of their music, is to give them a taste of some music that they won't like. Pick up one or two Transducer/Exciters from Amazon, and turn your common wall into a giant speaker. Attach the exciter to the wall and treat them to Slim Whitman on repeatNeighbor-be-gone
I think there are headphones that block noise but don’t use white noise. They muffle the noise - it shouldn’t effect your hearing. Amazon has them.
I got this cheap recorder for meetings. I was surprised how well it works, and it picks up all of the background noises and voices, especially when I listen back with headphones to transcribe meetings. You can download recordings as well. Good luck!
EVISTR 16GB Digital Voice... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CPNR79C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Ouch for you. Yeah, heavy walkers. Hopefully the person will leave. Is he wearing shoes? If he wore slippers, that would help, but it sounds like they don't care. I hope he leaves, for your sake. I have a little bluetooth speaker that plays waterfall sound. It really helps blot out sounds. You can dedicated white noise makers that will do the job on amazon. These things really help. They suck up sound, even bass to a certain extent.
https://www.amazon.ca/Marpac-DOHM-DS-TN-Natural-Actual-Machine/dp/B000KUHFGM?th=1
This thing. I just rigged up a speaker with an SD card with waterfall sound in. I couldn't live without it. It is my shield and my protector! It's weird, but it makes me feel safe when I sleep. I leave it running all night. Sounds like you need a loud one.

Hey there. There’s an under the door blocker I bought for my apartment. It was really cheap. I have a huge gap under my door too. I got it on Amazon because bugs were crawling into my apartment, and my dog barks when he sees people’s shadows. It also stops cold and hot air from coming in/out. It might work for you.
36 Inch Under Door Draft... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PQJ9VRR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Gotcha. I built myself something called a pwnagotchi - it’s intended for security auditing, so it does a deauth - but for auditing stuff. I wrote a command that pretty much causes it to go into flood mode. Now I don’t know how easy the Amazon ones are, but something like this might “just work” where you select the network name on a little screen and let it do its thing. https://www.amazon.com/AURSINC-Deauther-Development-Wearable-Smartwatch/dp/B08YWJPCSL/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=Z3VFCN6T51KL&keywords=wifi+deauth&qid=1655783840&sprefix=wifi+deauth%2Caps%2C326&sr=8-3
With my raspberryPi, once I found the right command to run, I just type it in and as long as power doesn’t die - I never need to look at it again.
The other, more expensive option is a actual wifi jammer - but that’s going to create a dead zone for any wifi. If you put one of those along your fence, it might be far enough away from you to not interfere. The deauth strategy is ideal though since you can target a specific network name. Bettercap has something called “massdeauth” which you could edit the file and run that (that’s what I’m doing) and that can run on a normal machine or spare one - but you’d wanna watch a YouTube video or something to see the steps needed since the wifi card has to be put in a special mode, the software normally can do it for you you might have to touch the terminal for some part.

If you have access to a hose then you can use this to soak him every time he comes close to your property.
I have a baby gate that for some reason people have the hardest time opening. It was $50 from Amazon and you have to press 2 buttons and pull up at the same time. Plus it can attach to the wall via screws or flat discs. It works against nosy in-laws and a 120lb dog.
my neighbors aren't overly loud, but I still do hear then, but with this machine on full blast, I can't hear them at all.
this is what you need since you are unwilling to buy a real gun. It Will go straight through its skull no problem. Its a better solution than letting one of your kids get mauled.
Maybe you can ask your landlord if he could install the door dampers that makes it so their doors slowly closes. Even if he could install some cheap weather striping or foam so it can absorb some of the force.

Place an open can of tuna inside her hubcap
Vaseline in her door handles.
Gay pride bumper sticker(preferably magnetic)
get an estimate on the bathroom damages and go have a talk with her. BTW your insurance would likely pay for it and then contact her and deal with the money issue so try them first.
Talk to her about the kids, make sure they kids are not allowed above your bedroom during your sleep hours. The running they do in the hallway can be dealt with by hanging a soundproof blanket over your door. If your willing to invest a little bit of money in it, buy something like this https://www.amazon.com/POCO-DIVO-16-square-ft-Anti-fatigue-Interlocking/dp/B00PZWTBAS/ref=sr_1_72_sspa?crid=ZSTBOM2LRYXF&keywords=floor+pads&qid=1643339848&sprefix=floor+pads%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-72-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQUZKMVY4MTY5VUVFJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTkzNzE0M1UxRlEwWjhZT044RyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDU0NzQwMkdLMTJQVFdUOUlNJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== or a yoga mat and ask that blocks be played on top of the mat.
Two year olds do seem to be in a hurry to be everyplace, they usually calm down b4 3yrs old. These are hard times with kids because of the stupid endless pandemic. If talking to her doesnt help try inviting her to come down when the husband is watching the kids so she can hear what your dealing with. They can calm the kids down, my aunt used to do this when someone lived below her....but that young they will probably constantly forget, i know i did when at her house.
I dont know what is going on up there, i find the "work space" remark very suspect. Where is their bedroom? They have to sleep sometimes but it isnt at night if they are constantly making noise in what is suppose to be their bedroom.
For their things left on the porch and in the lobby, remove them (except packages marked with their name) and put them into or next to the trash. They dont play fair but u feel you have to? no, everything blocking the hallways gets removed. Large water bottles? move them to next to the garbage make them walk and work to get them.
The usual get a door camera applies here but get a door camera with a decibel meter within the frame of the recording. suggest neighbors do the same.
Now to make your apartment livable, is there a second bedroom? if she sleeps at night you can move your bed into the other bedroom and have relative quiet. build a quiet zone around your bed until this neighbor moves... think canopy bed type of thing, make sure it has a top to it. Put acoustic panels (available on amazon) on the top inside of the structure around your bed and heavy curtains around it and i hope this should dampen the sounds enough to get you some sleep. Any fabric in the room will help, tapestries, drapes on windows, carpet, chairs etc.
If you leave the house during the day, definitely play loud music under where ever you think he sleeps (he could be a meth head and not sleep too). Now an embarrassing suggestion, find one of these... https://www.amazon.com/downstairs-Indirectly-embarrassing-atmosphere-neighbors/dp/B09BJXVF7L/ref=sr\_1\_6?crid=1BRGP2F33ZAAU&keywords=upstairs+noisy+neighbors&qid=1642777869&sprefix=upstairs+noisy+n%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-6
Report the stolen mail to USPS.
If your door faces the common area, get a Ring doorbell and a non-permanent holder that slides onto you door like this one (there are tons of similar ones, get the least expensive one).
Others have given good advice as to what you can do. I just wanted to drop this as an idea for what to do to keep them from being able to peek in your windows while still allowing light inside. It's not destructive and should peel right off when you no longer want them up.

That's just one example there is a fair variety of styles. I've seen them for sale at home depot in various sizes if you want to check them out in person. Good luck.
they sell them with poles to put into the lawn too
No trespassing signs (can add that police WILL be called)
Fence
Automatic sprinklers

I searched "neighbor deterrent" on amazon and found this motion activated ultrasonic sounds and strobe lights

We got some of these

because my husband, instead of getting hearing aids, turns the TV up to 55
You need the digital audio out port on the TV so you can mute the thing and still listen to it at the 'earthquake' setting on the headphones.

Yep. I can. I have. Get a no parking sign and contact a towing company. They are faster than the police and its roughly 300 bucks just to get their car out of tow. You want it to end make it end.

Hearos brand earplugs are very comfortable and come in a large box. My husband snores very loud and I’m sure the neighbors hear him. I feel like the people who complain about earplugs don’t know how to insert them properly. This was the case with my husband. He thought you use the foam earplugs like silicon putty earplugs, he didn’t know you have to squeeze the foam and stick into the ear canal and let them expand.
These are excellent and I can’t hear any of our NFH noise when I’m sleeping:

if you start calling cops and Animal control over barking you will have more issues just get this thing below and add soundproofing to your bedroom so much easier
Get one of those alarm clocks that have the thing that vibrates the bed. It’ll be lightweight so you could probably duct tape it to the ceiling. Those things are pretty strong.

this isnt the one i saw on amazon before but https://www.amazon.com/neighbor-upstairs-machine-Deadener-Muffler/dp/B0965RG474/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=upstairs+neighbor&qid=1632538380&sr=8-6
if it works u could probably rent it out by the hour
Have you tried melatonin?
I have this white noise machine and it's a life saver
Between the back yards, yes. On the side yard? No. Have been considering growing a hedge and training it to get up to 6' tall - but this takes time, like 5-6 years before it would be an effective traffic busting tool.
I in fact have a couple of these that I use around my veggie garden ->
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07PHRLSJT/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_K7YWRNF0Q88QSPVZ9MHE
And yes the thought had occurred to me to place one on the side yard to catch and water trespassers. I also had a few other ideas to encourage good manners. Sadly the EPO (entertainment prevention officer, aka, my spouse) forbids me from doing anything that would inflame or complicate the situation. Nor would they be considered polite.
You can't do a fence? How about a screen?
The first thing is restricting access. Else get smart of your property laws, what your rights are for keeping them off your property.

I left a comment on your video and on your channel - I suggest taking a look at acoustic tiling from Bubos. I learned about it on a website, perhaps you might want to take a look at it on Amazon: BUBOS 12 Pack Acoustic Panels - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088QYXDHM/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=AYSZ9A4568PND&psc=1.
I have that problem with one of the dogs next door. It barks the entire time we are out in our yard and barks at my dog too. The owner leaves her dogs out all day. The device is working. I hear a few barks once in a and then it stops. Bought it off Amazon for $28
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WWSJFWV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share We turn it off if we are not outside.
Our dog only barks if she wants inside or sees a stanger at the gate.
OK. New idea. I totally forgot about this shit. Its a clear ish powder. You put it all over some mail. Put the mail in the box. or leave a box out, even better. whatever you put in the box, make it innocuous. Okay so this powder will make their skin turn purple and its super hard to get out. They have it on amazon. there's also a version that only shows under UV. I figure a box is the best way to go as the mailma would be less likely to touch it putting in new mail. here ya go - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008JEE6SQ/
Shit! Blow the whistle when she’s home so she is forced to train it better! Seriously, though, there’s these remote control devices which emits a non harmful high frequency something or other which stops the barking. Not sure if it works through walls, best check the reviews!
It’s time for cameras, not ring...actual cameras with 24 hr recording. They are messing with you.
older people can’t stand change in “their” neighborhood and they are nosey af. Believe me, they are watching your every move.
i have these for my boomer crazy neighbor...
