Neighbour kids climbing in my garden

Loose your shit woman! Go round get hold of the mother tell her if it happens again you are coming for her... be mean be nasty use language like a navvy and show her up. You have to make them more frightened of you than they are. I appreciate it is not lady like behaviour but used rarely and effectively it works..well ,it has for me!

Just because the mother is aware they do it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go round and ask her to stop them doing it.

Another vote for anti-climb paint or grease on the fence.

You are being disrespected OP. You can tell them until you are blue in the face not to go into your garden but they will keep doing it because of their mother's attitude. To say, " dont know why she throws the ef*ing balls back to her kids" is the problem. If you went round and spoke to her, then i feel you will get a mouthful from her. It is just the attitude of they can do what they like.
I would put netting around where the balls are coming over your fence or could you put in some higher fencing. Than again, you shouldnt have to especially when you are being neighbourly and throwing the footballs back.

I have two boys and they play football in the garden all the time. We have lovely neighbours and when the footballs fly over my boys will wait until they get throw back over into our garden.They wouldnt dream of going next door. Same with neighbours, as there dc's have balls come over and we throw them back. It is called respect and your neighbours haven't any and are entitled. Good luck.

It's mean but effective — start collecting all the balls then donate them to charity. Or just keep them for a few months before returning them.

Say you'll start throwing balls back when they learn to stop coming in your garden.

We found older children were using younger ones to climb over the fence against their will. Mother didn't care. The kids did when they didn't have footballs anymore.

Spikes on the fence.
Big dog.
Camera and police involvement

Id also when throwing back fucking lob them back at her house preferably hitting their windows

I did this and it hir their bins sending them rushing out panicking woth the noise. Followed it with more thrown at equally full force

Inconsiderate bitch

My tried and tested method is to let the balls down before throwing them back over.. . When their dps have to keep pumping them up and impacting THEIR lives the dc will be more careful.

Another vote for anti vandal paint on the fence along with jaggy bushes along side.

That's outrageous!!

abandoned car and noise :-)

My dog has destroyed 2 balls that have landed in my garden because the neighbours kids kept kicking them over the fence .
Quite a few landed and I had to throw them over , eventually my dog got 2 of them and popped them 🤣
One of my friends said “ oh that is a shame your dog ruined the ball , you ought to replace it “
Me “ No way am I replacing their balls “

If you Google “defensive planting” there are lots of websites suggesting fast-growing spiky plants specifically to deter people from climbing over boundaries. There is even a page on this on West Yorkshire Police website. It is certainly not illegal

Buy a couple of well established holly bushes. That will stop them. Any balls that come over, throw them in the bin. Had issues myself with balls coming into my garden. My plants were trashed and my back door hinges snapped due to them forcing a bolted door and climbing over it. Had it on camera and knew the kids and their mother. Presented mother with the video and she denied they were her kids. Her kids have numerous logs in with the police so I added another one and they got a police visit. Haven’t had them terrorising my end of the street since.

Is it your fence? If it is, put anti climb paint on it.

What on earth does “absorbed car, nice” mean? I’m assuming this is autocorrect but can’t for the life of me work out what you intended to say!

Burglar grease.

I’d stab the balls with a pair of gardening shears and then throw them back over and tell them if they keep coming back over the same will happen to the next lot

The other thing I'd be tempted to do is lob them back so hard that you break things in her garden, but that would probably be unwise 😂.

Alternatively, have you thought about chucking a few balls into her garden, and then climbing over to retrieve them?

Inform their mother that you're going to be painting your fence, so could she tell the boys not to climb on it as they'll ruin their clothes.

Then put a patch of wet paint/varnish precisely where they climb over every day for the rest of the holidays. You can always sand it down when they're back at school!

The OP would like to keep owning her house but that would solve the garden problem when she ended up handing over her keys to its new child owners🙃

Spikes/approved deterrents on the fence. Simple.

Go round and let them know you’ve done it so there’s no surprises/accidents.

If she asks why you’ve done it just say that seeing how easy her children can get into your garden has made you rethink your security set up.

Trespass is a civil offence, pal.

Stab the balls with a kitchen knife and throw them back.
