I have been in the same position as the OP. The misery would start at around 11pm and carry on escalating into the early hours of the morning. Any attempts to move the 'children', however nicely done, was always met with an increase in the aggravating behaviour.

The Police tried their best, they attempted to use reason, and even tried to take names and addresses but the children had an escape route across a playing field. That playing field, despite its seating area, held no attraction to the youngsters who wanted to congregate on a street corner where they could indulge their need to showcase their inane behaviour.

We did discuss the use of a Mosquito devise amongst the neighbours and with the Police but we all quickly ruled it out as we had babies, children and young people living in the immediate area who would suffer if we used it.

The Rooster Pellets were a mad idea which I used in desperation but which worked for us.

We have not needed to use anything so far this year but I will do so if the problem starts again. A 50 pence solution.
