    Having issues with teenagers messing in my garden, in my driveway, throwing rubbish in my garden, sitting on my wall and breaking branches off the over hanging tree.

    Have installed sensor lights and cameras but no luck moving them on.

    If I put axel grease on my wall am I liable for any costs as regards damaging clothes etc

    That might be the least of it if one of them slips and it causes a serious injury!

    This link might help you out.

    Dogsh1t on the wall is much more effective.

    Make nature your ally by planting a hedge to keep them off your wall, and fertilise generously with manure.

    If you can handle it, horse manure is great for stopping teens hanging around due to the smell. Though, you do have to suffer! It's worth it, though. Typica;;y, once they find somewhere else to hangout they don't come back!

    I second this, although it may lead to retaliation etc.
    Safest longterm bet might just to be grow a hedge that's ~6 inches taller than the wall?

    When you see them sitting on the wall go outside with a cup of tea and sit up beside them and start chatting on your mobile phone.
    Do it every time.
    Say absolutely nothing to them just ignore them.

    That's fine until the pesky teenagers start using the hedge as a rubbish tip for empty cans, packets of crisps, etc.

    You can get "anti-climbing" paint in most hard ware stores. I think it even supplies a sign stating the paint is there, for you to hang on your wall.

    Alternatively maybe chatting with their parents and letting them know of the damage and littering that might sort it.

    I have that paint on my wall. I do wonder what would happen if they slip. Does the sign have to be displayed?
