She has been there for about a year now. I have this is my third year living here. It was around the time when she was buying the property when it started. Before her there was a little old lady who had some sort of dementia/Alzheimer's thing going on so she unfortunately could not be an eye witness I would think. Poor little lady thought I was a tall blond skinny real estate agent from the posters in town. But I am a short, brunette and overweight. I am trying to angle the camera better so it shows just the boundary line she is messing with and my property near it without intruding so the camera will activate when she crosses it but not if she's on her property just in case. I talked to police, who sent me to sheriff office since it is in the county and outside city limits. They finally had me call the plant board and then the environment quality department since she was using chemicals, and it may or may not be pesticides being used versus some cheap so it yourself home mixed stuff from household cleaners. the plant board recommended filing an encroachment report but it is hard to get a police form filled out. and one, a lady sheriff said it was a civil matter so I probably would have to hire a lawyer. I did fill out a report about the chemicals since I know for sure she is doing that and the dead plants are proof of it and I actually have the time when she did it last since I filled out the report the next morning after I saw the damage when I got home. The rest is a she said they said thing since I hadn't recorded the first few interactions I had with her since I just thought she was venting or had a bad day and didn't think she actually would do anything. So I didn't have as much information on that other then this thread. Unfortunately the environment quality department is backed up. My guess is COVID-19 and small department just can't keep up with calls. So not sure if I should wait for them. I don't want to waste money on a lawyer just for chickens.How long have you lived there? How long has she lived there? How long has she been trespassing?
If you are clearly telling her not to come onto your property, she is trespassing. Put a lock on the gate, change the camera angle so it will absolutely see her. Have you talked to the police? Next time she comes over, call the police. Also, she is littering on your property.
Keep the chickens where people can't reach them from outside the property line.
She cannot claim adverse possession of your property, she doesn't meet the requirements.
