Dear Amy: My husband and I recently bought a house.

Our new next-door neighbor had been close friends with the man who had owned our house for 30 years.

This neighbor was used to trespassing on our property all the time.

We do not want this.

During home renovations, whenever we had workers at our house, he would come over and tell them how HE wanted the work done.

We stopped this by telling the workers not to pay attention to him and giving the workers very specific directions about how WE wanted the work done. We instructed them to ask him to leave the property. He did not like this.

 

This morning I saw him (through a window) trespass onto our property and spray industrial-strength weed killer onto our grass (which does not have weeds).

We have relatives, friends and pets who because of health issues cannot be near weed killer.
