Neighbour problems

[Saffy118]

My neighbour came on to my property whilst I was away and put poison to stop bugs going to their property. I’m furious as I have pets. My husband thinks I’m overreacting. Aibu?

No. Not at all.

It’s not wasps by the way nor nothing life threatening or house destroying

Are you for real?? The type of bug is outing 😂😂😂😂

I seldomly laugh at mumsnet but that's a cracker.

Ffs it wouldn't be identifying. I'm guessing ant nest. My gardens full of them, doesn't bother me.

Tell them not to do it again and keep your pets away for a few weeks.

😂 naming a bug would be outing😂

Sorry, but I can't get past you not naming a common bug in case it's "outing". It would only be outing if it was a rare insect local to your area FFS!

Hose the poison away and tell the neighbour not to enter or put poison on your property ever again, and warn them you'll sue them if any of your pets get sick from their actions.

Only on mumsnet!

This place is getting crazier by the day

Ants?

I’m lost, what sort of bug do you put poison down for? I’m lost 😂 like those little ant traps?

It's ants isn't it 🙄

Did he just put down some ant powder? Just hose it away 🫣

Well there's a big difference between rat poison and ant powder...

Is it the Acacia Avenue Specific Slug?

Slugs or ants

It was ladybirds. It’s not the point.

LADYBIRDS! Who in God's name wants to kill poor old ladybirds? They do no harm.

I use ant powder every year and Lots of the popular ant powders are generally safe to be used around kids and pets, unless you’ve got pet ants 🤔

😂😂😂 this is defo a joke

Where did he buy the ladybird poison? 😂😂

Are they the invasive 12 spotters that are killing our natives? Edit got it wrong.... its the Harlequin that's the problem

Sorry OP it was funny, I would defo be pissed with him for needlessly killing a harmless bug and for entering my property.

Between the messy 16 year old thread that's apparently the OP's fault . . . and these killer ladybugs . . . MN you have broken me. All sorts of crazy be out tonight

Well if you find that funny you will find it ever funnier that they used woodlouse poison to try to kill then. What I didn’t find funny was that they climbed into my back garden to put it down despite the fact I have pets and without asking or mentioning it.

I had dc. They could have accessed the pellets....

@Saffy118 I'd have been really annoyed that they came onto my land uninvited and put insect killer down. If it was Nippon woodlouse killer it says pets are allowed in areas where it is used so hopefully no harm can come but they are still CF.
