Noise complaints
- Thread starter M0T
- Start date
I think it depends on your local council. When i had a noise complaint a few years ago, the first thing they did was send me a log book and they also wrote to the neighbour at the same time. As the noise was occurring during the day, they came and witnessed it. They then talked to the neighbour and they weren't happy with his excuses (he was saying he needed to turn up his music otherwise he wouldn't be able to enjoy it whilst he was in the bath for 2 hours). After a while it started again, noise officers witnessed it then issued him with an abatement notice. I moved out a few weeks later.
Best thing for you is to speak to your contact at the council and ask them what their procedure is for this type of complaint.
I haven't broached it to him but others have and he doesn't care.

Poisoning the foxes might be an option. If the Council agrees there's a vermin problem, do they have an official process for ridding an area of them?
Possibly a route to pursue in parallel with the noise issue.

It's also the rooster and it's not the foxes fault there's food in his back garden.
Shouldn't chickens be kept on a farm? Not in a domesticated area?

Buy a pellet gun, it would be very satisfying taking care of the problem that way 
Cheap pellet gun will do the job, one afternoon while he's shopping.
Or just go around there and tear a hole in the fence. That looks quite a lot like a fox hole in the fence. Country foxes are known to sometimes chew through chicken wire. Not the ones in my field though. They're dead.

He might not replace the rooster, and he could shoot the fox.
I think making it look like the fox has been at them is better than shooting them, because then he could find out who it was, and its blatant that it wasn't a fox.
(Que "Can't kill a fox with a pellet gun argument".. Sorry)

What do you want him to do? Pluck each individual feather?

Build a noise cancellation device!
There's some decent night scopes you could get hold of. The more he replaces the rooster. The more fun it is for you.
Strange I was thinking that also
.You can buy rat bait in most hardware stores. A lot of the time is it treated grain. Just keep throwing a bit in to the chicken coup over a period of a few weeks. The chickens will slowly deteriorate and stop laying eggs, rendering them usless, resulting in them being of no use to your neighbour.
