I like greekfire’s, Acetia’s, and Hobie’s ideas. The juice from a tin of kippered herring also works well, I’m told.

I live in southeast Mira Mesa and one of our pesky local wildlife is skunks. Might be useful to find out what skunks really really like to eat, and then pitch some of that into the malefactors’ back yard.

I agree, you shouldn’t have to move because of one houseful of bad apples… but you do have to think of your own safety too.

Maybe you can team up with the neighbors and all put your heads together and come up with something.
