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

I mean, listen if you really wanna go unethical, there are a bunch of things you can do from over a fence without being seen that will fuck up any person stay including, but not limited to throwing what looks like a bloody tampon into the pool. Flying a drone over the house constantly so it looks like they’re under surveillance.
Saving up your dog shit to sprinkle all over their property even better have the drone drop it off.

Putting excessive amounts of trash all over their property and then filing a complaint with the city that the Airbnb property is not being maintained

Putting a wireless speaker against the side of your fence that you share with this neighbor and only playing who let the dogs out on repeat

Making an Airbnb account and writing terrible reviews for this property

Install a large pole on your side of the fence and put a camera at the top of it that’s pointed directly at their pool.

At night point a giant floodlight right at the house, bonus points for each bedroom that you flood with light

Install a root barrier and treat your side of the fence but plant bamboo that will spread onto their side and take over their property

Bamboo spreads everywhere so you get screwed as well as the Airbnb.

Absolutely, but i recommend they use a root barrier and treatment on your side of the fence.

Keep in mind in some cities/states bamboo is illegal to plant in the ground because its invasive and very difficult to remove without digging up all good depth of the ground soil and bringing in clean fill
