wire it up to the mains ? Trespassers treat the land as they find it.

Quiote apart from that you've got a little number of your side known as poison ivy which don't exist as such in Europe. Ida thunk wrapping that around the pole would be a puntive deterent.

6. carpet strips to the back of the sign is the answer
