Honestly, sell it and move. That's the only real and permanent solution. All you have to do is crunch the numbers and do the math on reproductive rates in certain demographics. If you're already within walking distance, it will only get worse. As it does, property values will suffer. The best solution is to get out before you take that hit.

You could probably find an addition to a sprinkler system that would allow you to add liquid fertilizer to a container and then siphon it out to auto feed your lawn.
Would be a shame if you accidently added vinegar or deer attractant to it instead.

I was going to suggest shitting in a bucket for a month and spreading it on likely access points, but your way is probably easier.

Here's one with good reviews for half price - $29.99. Buy a few of them and have them overlap each other in coverage.

Looks like a good place to put up a clothes line to dry laundry.

As for the youths, maybe an "angry dog" sound that plays loud when motion activated

You aren't going to scare or threaten them away, and any contact on your part will lead to rapid escalation on their part. You don't have a lot of nonviolent options besides ignoring them or moving.

^ This.

There is no long term solution to this.

Short term, a motion sensor sprinkler coupled with lots of camera coverage. They will get pissed and try to get revenge. Lock and secure EVERYTHING.

Signs stop honest dip shits. The folks in your front yard look like they need their clothes wet, automatic water sprinklers triggered by motion. Another sign people are scared of is venomous snakes on property.

Thorn bushes and fast growing thorny vines planted in the scrub areas, and holly hedge rows on the areas needing extra persuasion.

Transplant some poison ivy into the path areas, it grows fast.

Can you get the trail closed at the other end or even on your end?

I would definitely put up no trespassing signs but I'd also put some alligator signs up- last time I was in Florida I saw a few different types. I like this one:

Some snake warning signs might not be a bad idea either.

Of course me being me I'd probably do some creepy stuff too, like start leaving bones in the woods, maybe some Blair Witch type stuff including rock alters with candle stubs and some pentagrams. A goat head on a tree would be a nice touch.

Honestly man, urban or rural doesn't matter. Cameras are great. Lock your doors and send the vids to the cops. I doubt that the cops will be able to do anything, but it will keep them entertained.

Along the tree line you need to bury 8ft long 4x4's 2 ft deep in concrete. Space them every 8ft. Once that is done, run barb wire from post to post. Space each run about 6 -8 inches apart. Plant vines down the fence line. Soon the vines will intertwine the barb wire and posts and you will have an invisible fence that looks like a green wall.

The next solution is to sell the house and move to where you don't live around urban yutes. If you put signs up, they will be insulted and will key your vehicles, steal your stuff, spray paint your house, break in, flatten your tires, ect. They will have a vendetta against you.

It doesn't take much to get them riled up and their criminal behavior turned towards you.
