My neighbor recently put up several of these animal deterrent sensors that emit a loud high pitched noise. They are constantly ringing and she refuses to take them down even after several other people in the neighborhood complained to her about the loud noise.
What are some ways I can get back at her?
My ideas are:
throwing wildflower seeds in her yard
letting my grass grow tall so more weeds and dandelions go into her yard
giving her phone number to pollical and telemarking groups
She has cameras in her yard. But this is 4chan give me your worst.

you can Check If your neighbor is uncooperative and the noise is preventing you from enjoying your property or harming your pet, you may need to look into local nuisance laws, In many municipalities, devices that cross property lines to cause a disturbance, even ultrasonic, can be classified as a nuisance
Otherwise put a wall or fence to your yard

This. In my city, any sound audible outside someone's property line for more than 15 minutes can be reported as a nuisance. It's a civil offense with a fine, but a cop told me they can charge repeat offenders with disorderly conduct.

Chances are the idiot can't even hear it... it's not like they're going to actually notice they're not working.
So, if you can, just get access to them and cut the wires inside. Or, use super glue to jam the speakers?

Dont be a passive-aggressive loser. Talk to the lady and see what you can work out. Otherwise, escalate with loudspeakers playing Baby Shark on a 4 hour loop. Be just loud enough for her, not the whole neighborhood, and make sure she knows its a result of her devices. If you dont she wont see the connection and will assume youre a nutjob, which you might be. And dont be a passive-aggressive loser.

Geordi, while I appreciate the ingenuity and the impulse to resolve a domestic disturbance through elegant engineering, let us not turn the neighborhood into a battlefield of phase-shifted waveforms.
Before we resort to countermeasures, however ... technically satisfying, I believe a more diplomatic approach is in order. Have you spoken with your neighbor? Explained how the device is affecting you? Many people are simply unaware of the collateral impact of these gadgets. A reasoned conversation, perhaps over tea, often achieves more than escalation.

you need to do something, in the lab testing on this equipment for rats resulted in disfunction, bad mojo they even sell similar tech in stores as a rat deterrent, shit will quietly and consistently fuck you up. constant noise is often associated with poor performance poor sleep and poor decision making, assume it reduces impulse control as well. i would use such a thing to convince a household pet to attack its owner, say you have a pitbull next door this would stress the animal out.

air rifles are so underrated. there's now way to trace it
i have a new construction house in the neighborhood with stupid fucking bright LEDs on the garage face. I only see it when I drive home, but every time it's like I'm looking out for a fucking semi coming down the road
very likely, one of these days, going to pull over in LoS and take em out
pretty sure nobody even lives there

>deaf geezers
the time this really surprised me was an old guy friend of mine asked me to come look at his shop compressor because he thought it wasnt making air and needed a ring/valve job
i get there and we bullshit while this 25hp 4cyl beast churns away rattling the entire building even though it was in a tin shed on the outside. i asked how long itd been running before i got there and he looked confused and said he needed to wire a pilot light that came on when it was running because he couldnt hear it otherwise
long story long there was a 1" pipe elbow back in a corner split lengthwise leaking about 75cfm which kept the system maxed out at 60 psi but he couldnt hear the leak either so never looked

youre substantially overestimating the prevalence of hearing protection use before the mid 90s. yes boomers are daft but theyre also literally deaf
its also well documented that everyone born prior to y2k has substantial hearing loss in their left ear from driving around with the window down all the time in cars without ac

Every single on of these "what do I do about my neighbor who won't stop doing things I don't like" threads should have the same exact answer. Deal with it through the authorities/police. If you go on to their property without permission, or if you damage/take their property, you are putting yourself at legal risk. Do not do it.

does this still apply if i can sneak into my neighbors' "white trash pit" and invisibly assassinate japanese knotweed while they're gone? the only sign i was there, would be that less of it seems to come up every spring. there is no legal mechanism i can use to compel them to kill it, i checked many times. i figure if i ever get caught, my defense is "you're welcome."

I'm renting a townhouse and have a garage door like picrel.
All the neighbors got steel/aluminum garage doors recently but they said mine is in good enough condition so it wont be replaced. Its heavy and loud as fuck, my fat ass can't handle it.
What can I do to do damage the door to make it look like wear&tear? I've been spraying rainwater on it to promote rot and mold but its not working. Ideally something that will make it look ugly and unsafe so they're forced to do something.

is it's all provable in court then OP can just smack her in the face with a brick and claim it was noise induced poor decision making due to sonic torture
