Trespassing Neighbor

Card image cap

Location: Florida, USA

Hello all! Using a throwaway account for obvious reasons. We own a house in FL and a developer bought the empty lot next door about a year ago and have been building a house on the lot. This has obviously created a lot of nuisance problems but most significantly they refuse to stop walking across our driveway/yard. This is a normal residential street with street parking in front of their lot and an alley behind but the consistently park in front of our house and walk across our yard and driveway to access to their lot. They also frequently block our driveway including unloading building supplies in our drive. We’ve put up cameras and multiple (4 total, one every 5 feet) no trespassing signs that they’ve taken to moving around and ignoring. We’ve also verbally reminded both the owner, contractor, and initial subcontractors to stay off our property (often to the response of being called an asshole and to f**k off).

What options do we have to prevent them from using our property? Honestly we just want to be left alone and not have to deal with strangers in our yard.

Edit: I’m aware I live in Florida and stand your ground laws exist. This is not an option. PERIOD. DO NOT SUGGEST IT AS SUCH! Please I’m annoyed and frustrated not homicidal.
