Now I know why I have so many stinkin' predators....

Maybe you should be a good neighbor and stack some big ol' truck tires on their property and tell them you just gave them a compost bin. Tell them you want to share it so you have a place to empty your saw dust toilet.

Seriously, you should have a talk with your neighbor. This reminds me of people who let their dogs poop on other people's yards. She needs to be told that it's drawing pests to the neighborhood. Maybe she could bury her leftovers.

Good luck with that.

How utterly irresponsible of her! I'd ask her to abstain from doing it in the future explaining the problem with these animals entering your barns. If she continues to do it, I'd be dropping the predator corpses on the property line as a visual aid to back up your claims.

I have a compost bin to keep my dogs out of the food trash. When my bin filled up this year due to a tragic freezer mishap I started using a stack of tires like card5640 mentioned. It works just as well. Rats can get into it, but nothing else can.

Good luck.

Ask her to throw the scraps in your chicken run instead of property line. It will help cut down on the feed bill.

Or ask her to check out something in our chicken run where she has an "accident". By morning there should be only fat happy chickens in the run.

Hmmm....I like the stacked tires idea.

However since I am quite sure that she knows exactly what she is doing and the problems that it is causing I think it would be a waste of energy.

Remember, this is the woman who battles me incessantly over the property line itself on the other side of our land.
And has placed her burn barrel in the corner closest to my home and directly in the wind stream that comes in the holler.
So every time she burns, we have to close all of our windows and make sure no clothes are on the line.
I am thinking of moving my bee boxes over that way just to make her trash burning a little more exciting.

I swear. I have never done anything to this woman. She hates me because in a very painful, heated moment while doing a home repair involving a large hammer I uttered THEE curse word while she was in hearing distance. She then decided I must be the devil incarnate because since then, she has made it her job in life to be the bane of my existance.

We are normally very quiet people, no loud music, no keggers

, our kids are quiet, I keep my animals in my yard 99.9% of the time. We keep our yard neat, dogs dont bark, nothin.
So, she could do worse for neighbors. In fact, should we ever decide to sell, I will be screening potential home owners for maximum partier levels and preferably someone who wants to run a dog kennel business or raise coon hounds. I just love the sound of their howls, dont you?

*sigh* She brings out the devil in me...lol

Could you get one of these?

Oh, that is too funny!

I once caught a guy in the woods behind my house, on my property, with a live trap, releasing an opossum. When asked WTH he thought he was doing, his reply was that it kept getting into his garbage. Oh really? what about my garbage? The dumb look on his face said it all.
I suggested he go a couple of miles down the road and release it on the state land....where there aren't any houses.....
what a great idea!

Oh I would SO do that!! I try so hard to be nice, resolve conflict and give people second chances; however there comes a point that I snap and have very passive aggressive tendancies.

I honestly can't believe how hateful this woman is being to you! Lol, now if only you really could relocate pesty neighbors....

I have a good relationship with all of my neighbors and always have. We like to be friends with our neighbors because it makes for a much more enjoyable life.

I think a good solution is to take the trap with a nasty coon in it and place it at the front door of your lovely neighbor...Knock...and then explain what it is that she is doing to perpetuate the growth of this disease ridden animal and how she can change her "unneighborly" habits.

If your neighbor responds well...Problem solved.

If she doesn't...I have another suggestion. Maybe a slain and butchered coon could show up in a conspicuous spot.

I would start leaving the dead bodies where she is dumping the food....
