Taking to Reddit the anonymous person shared how their neighbour has been throwing all sorts of food into their garden.

This in turn has attracted animals who have destroyed the garden.

The frustrated Reddit user claimed their neighbour was 'out of control.'

They added: "wrote: "Has anyone else had issues like this before? This older lady who lives a few houses down from me literally will not stop throwing peanuts, cat food, bird food, and whatever else she throws all over the place.

"This has been going on for about a year and it’s completely out of control. She doesn’t throw out a small amount, she will throw out buckets full several times a day."

The person, who seems to be based in America explained the extent of the damage, writing: "The squirrels and raccoons have destroyed just about everybody’s yard in the neighbourhood by digging holes.

"She also goes outside and screams at birds and the squirrels all the time for fighting".

They added they had already tried to confront their neighbour, with little success.

They revealed: "She’s been asked politely several times to stop, I’m probably going to write a letter to her landlord and the city because I’m so over this. This has got to stop".

People quickly took to the comments section of the post to share their thoughts and offer some advice on getting evidence of the neighbour's strange behaviour.

One wrote: "We have a squirrel infestation because a neighbor treats them like they are his pets. They've become feral and fearless of humans, expecting food from us and getting nasty if not fed."

Another added: "Record her doing it over a month long period. Then contact Game Warden".

A third penned: "Start video taping /game camera and involve Animal Control AND the Game Warden. Feeding wildlife like you say she is, is a big no no. She can get some big tickets plus costs Critter removal and possibly a few other charges"
