AIBU to be annoyed at neighbours children

My neighbours daughter(and her friends) is 13 and has recently started jumping my wall outside of my house which means she gets to her house quicker.
The wall is low and is easy to jump, its right outside of my lounge window and after a day at work and when the kids are in bed the last thing i want is 4 teenage girls running around outside my house, i just want to relax.
Now that the weathers better i always put garden chairs up against the wall, now they are jumping the wall onto the chairs!
Ive spoken to her once and told her not to jump my wall but has she listened, No.
AIBU?

Plant sweet peas in some pots with 5 foot bamboo canes for them to climb up. Place pots near wall.

You foil her and get nice flowers in a few weeks!

5foot5 your suggestion is definitely the best. If only it wasn't so impractical

My suggestion is more boring - go out every time and embarrass her in front of her friends. You can do this best by being very nice to her.

We have had similar problems with young lads running along the wall in front of our yard. I worry that the wall is old and unsafe, and have told them so many times. I explain that I understand the temptation, and keep them listening for a few minutes while I tell them pointless horror stories about children who have fallen from wobbly walls in the past. Because I do this more on sorrow than in anger, they feel obliged to listen politely, even though are right young hooligans of about ten years old, and now they have got sick of me so they avoid my house and my wobbly wall.

(I have also been on the wine tonight)
