7.62mm assault rifle, that'll solve yer problem. About the whole law thing, it doesn't matter if you have a 7.62mm assault rifle.

That's a really tiny gun, sure you'd lose that down the back of the setee!

What time of the evening/night does this happen and for how long? This will affect my suggestion.

You just don't see it yet, Andy. This can be weaponised and used against them. Think Guantanamo Bay or Mars Attacks.

I'd be taking up a spot of powerhosing the front of the house... Around 3 minutes before they arrive... Tell them your getting ready for the winter...practicing how to clean blood off walls and pavements, it'll take about a week..
Or be waiting for them at the front gate and eavesdrop on their conversation dropping in the odd wow.. really .. fcuk me.. it'll make them feel so uncomfortable that you're such a weirdo they won't hang around..
Become more of a nuisance to them than they are to you.

if I approach them one evening do i be like "Oh excuse me young men and ladies you wouldnt mind kindly not upsetting my dogs and making them bark on purpose would you , oh that would be lovely thank you, bye bye " like something out of downton abbey - will they understand and act accordingly ?

Or would this approach be better " hey wassup you motherf*kkers - you carry on winding my dogs and being annoying fekkers I wild break all your legs one by one and it will be painful! thats not a threat , thats a promise now feck off and go and catch some pokemons or something like good boys and girls!!!" - do you reckon that would go down better?

Downton Abbey will make them laugh at you, other one will encourage them to see how far they can push you.
The nutter, confusing weirdo one works best. Ask them in for tea .. or minerals and crisps... Maybe while holding the powerhose wearing Speedos ..

Yeah but what about my reputation, I still have to keep that up - i mean i do powerwash in my speedo's and am a bit of a nutter .. but thats a story for another day

... and if they do take me up on my offer of refreshments and biscuits what then?

Andy From Sligo

Does the "I know your parents!" line still work with kids/teenagers these days or could they not give two flying sh!ts these days whether you know their parents or not?

Go full Jason voorhees and pick them off one by one.

foggy_lad

Go out and look for volunteers to help you change your helpless old grandfathers incontinence nappies as you can't manage on your own when they are too full:eek::D

If that doesn't shift them then you will have to find some old geezer and stick a nappy on him:D

I could go out and say to them that the last person who wound my dogs up came to a very unfortunate 'sticky end' and that I need volunteers to move the body!

That sound repellent thingy. There is apps on google store that can do that. They're free. Maybe hook it up to a Bluetooth speaker and bobs your uncle. Dunno another the dogs though. It may hurt their ears.

Ally Dick

Take your dogs for a walk occasionally, and they won't bark as much

rizzee

Kick them in the face

Good point on the mosquito alarm annoying the dogs. If it annoys teenagers that can hear at a slightly higher pitch than adults, I can only imagine it would send the dogs crazy.

I don't know if this is a thing you can do anymore, but once upon a time, you could call the Gardai and let them know that there's a group of teenagers hanging around your house around X time of an evening and it's making your dogs wound up, which is annoying the neighbours and could they have someone patrol down that street for a couple of days. It should encourage the kids to move elsewhere.

I know it sounds like the nuclear option, but it's not really. You're not calling the Gardai on them, just getting your street added to the patrol route for a few days.

Go out and try and sign them up for the Jehovah's Witnesses!

"there's not much for them to do".

There wasn't much for any of us to do, we didn't go around acting like shítheads though.
