I'm guessing you don't have an HOA. This is one instance where that would actually be beneficial, as they could act on your behalf.

Check all local codes to find ones that they are breaking. Most cities have codes for drainage & standing water (it's a health hazard, particularly due to mosquitos). There are also codes for grass, but generally not unless it is over 12" tall. You have to know the exact code(s) that are being broken, and you have to report it to the appropriate authority. Call that authority, and continue calling every day until the issue is resolved. If it isn't resolved in a reasonable amount of time, I'd recommend calling your local news station and have them put it into their "citizen's advocate" section. That should help get things moving, but it will also likely put you in the spotlight, which is bad if you're concerned about repercussions.

honestly i'm worried about my boys when i'm offshore, i know mom and dad live next door and father-in-law lives up the street but that shouldn't matter, i shouldn't have to worry about my family's saftey when i'm not home
Felons for neighbors and living next door to my parents sounds like 2 excellent reasons to move in my book.

Slip 5,000 hatchling crickets in a window when they're not looking. Any pet store can refer you to a mail order house.

Sounds like that would just make the problem worse by feeding the assorted vermin already living in that house and making them stronger.

He stiffed me on a substantial transaction, went out of his way to avoid me, then bragged about it to his friends behind my back. At the time it seemed like a good alternative to physical violence.
