Or a sleep walker Really, a friend of mine has a husband that sleepwalks and let her dogs out of their pen one night
It crossed my mind. My mother in law vetoed the hot wire though, and since it is her house, I havet to play by her rules. If it were my place, I'd have the stuff all over. But she has young grandkids and is super nervous and over protective, she even hacked up every cactus within sight of the house, and she bought a bunch of kids' benadryl when we brought our new beehive home. She won't let me use live traps or rat bait or a gun on the property either, or mention around the kids that we eat or sell any animals.Beekissed said:Here's an idea....don't put up any signs or such. Act like you aren't taking any precautions. Then hot wire your gates with some juiced wire.....and sit back to listen for the screams.
Not enough to damage, mind you, just enough to surprise and scare off. They will think more than twice about coming back.
You might also get a simple motion alarm and set it on "alarm"....since you can't hear your roo, it won't keep you awake but it may just scare someone and make them think you can hear the alarm.
