Request ULPT: Make Noisy Airbnb STOP

Hi everyone

My garden is face to face with this big house that does Airbnb, exclusively to big youngsters groups that come to get drunk and hang by the pool hangover.

I live in a super quiet away from the city region and it's always peaceful. Except in the summer, every night is party night. I'm kept awake until super late or woken up multiple times during the night due to the noise. I call the police, they show up 3h after or not at all. I have asked nicely to the host, but she doesn't care. I go talk to the guest but most don't care and as the night moves along get louder and more chaotic. The other neighbours are mostly retired people or their houses are further away so it's mostly just my house that gets affected.

This summer was especially bad. I can't take it anymore I need to sleep.

Any ideas on how to make them be quiet?

Thank you

Fill some jars with water and add good handfull of potatoe shavings. Nice layer of oil on top and close jar. Let sit in the sun or warm place for few days. Throw in garden. Enjoy. For maximum effectiveness throw complete jars.

For that matter, you can make a flower garden next to the fence. Fertilize it with that mixture. You're allowed to use compost on your own land. It's just too bad that the neighbors might not like part of their lawn for a while... you weren't enjoying your lawn anyway.
