Hypothetical here...

[BuddyLee (Premo)]

...lets say your neighbors dog(s) keep getting into your trashcans and drag that trash across your two acres.

Lets also say that you have confronted said neighbor via phone, in writ, and physically asking they keep the dog(s) out of the trash.

You even buy new trashcans and straps to help ensure the trash is secure and especially after said dog has chewed numerous holes in your other trashcans.

You come home today to find that the trash is strewn across the lawn, again.

You pick it up. Two hours later the same instance occurs.

What can a resident do? What will animal control do? Any legal measures?

Did you actually see the dog do it? My money's on nomo.

Yes, all the time.

P.S. I didn't see any cart tracks out there in the mud.

Just shoot them and bury them in the back yard

A resident can hypothetically put a big bowl of anti-freeze near the trashcan.




Or they can call animal control and lodge a complaint against their hypothetical asshat of a neighbor.

Put a cup of ammonia in your trash bags before you close them up. Doggie will only get into your trash *one* more time. I promise.

You need to snatch your neighbor out of his house by the ear, and then drag him all across your yard picking up the trash!

Will this harm them in any way? This is 'one' of those neighbors if you know what I mean.

First call animal control. Then a pellet gun is a good deterent. As soon as you see them in the trash can vicinity....if that doesn't work, I've built a wooden box to house mine. Never had a problem with animals getting into it.
