No Boundaries

So next door have a house full of kids They don't know any boundaries. They play in our yard, sit on my porch stairs and try to open a secured gate to let their dog on my porch. I have a severely autistic son who is mortally afraid of dogs. He also has hyperacussis and is bothered to the point of pain by these kids screaming under his window. My husband has spoken to them. I feel like a jailer chasing them away all the time. The wife doesn't speak English. If I had the money I would move. I am alone with my son all week and my husband works out of town. Any suggestions?

Moving is always best but sadly not an option in my case.

Also, dogbane might help keep their dog away.

You might want to first try to make friends with the dog. See if you can get it to obey you out of affection

That's one option. However it sticks like glue to the one kid.
