What is the name of your state? Utah
I have a neighbor that lives across the street, that seems bent on giving us enough grief to move out. He's called the city because our yard had weeds growing in it, and another time because we had boxes stacked in our driveway instead of in our garage.
Recently this cat has decided to hang around our house, (mainly, we think because we have a huge tree and it gets hot down here and the tree provides a lot of shade) and had kittens in our yard.
They're getting into our garage through our dryer vent (everytime someone approaches the house all of them scamper into that vent opening) and we've had to buy a new hose because they've torn it up. We put an empty garbage can over the outside cover of this vent trying to keep them out but it didn't work so we just left it outside, and took a smaller one and covered the inside opening (inside our garage) for the time being so we can fix the dryer hose.
Now that the kittens are getting older, they're starting to roam, going into the street, and across it into his yard. He called animal control on us because of it, even though we've told him, it's not our cat/kittens and there's nothing we can do about it. The animal control people are even sick of him because he's calling them everyday and even THEY have said theres nothing they can do.
Well, right now we still have the dryer vent covered inside our garage and it's getting really hot during these summer months. (in the 100's) Everytime we leave the house, we'll come back home and see the garbage can we left outside covering the outside opening, meaning he's trapping these kittens in this small space with no air circulation.
We have no proof that he's the one doing it, and thats what we're trying to figure out how to get. We don't have a lot of money to really do anything, but he's driving us insane and he's going to end up hurting these defenseless animals, is there anyway to keep him off our property?
