Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Neighborhood Drone
Gentlemen, I have in-laws in FL with a neighbor drone problem...
LEO contacted, no law on books in locality.
Cost effective ideas to effectively stop a drone flying at approximately 50 ft. off the ground, and firearms are not permitted.

Wrist rocket sling shot?
Will a Super Soaker spray that high?
My vote goes for a potato cannon.
If they are flying within the constraints of FAA regulations and local ordinances, you have no legal recourse for whatever actions you choose to interfere with the drone in operation. 'You' being the generic 'you'. People may find themselves in a world of Federal hurt for downing a drone in an unsafe manner, in addition to any civil or criminal property damage statutes. It's just a fact. Your best bet is to talk to the individual, or see if they are violating the regs or local ordinances. You can look up your in-laws address on Airmap or Skyvector to see if the airspace is legal to fly in. Amongst other things, I am a licensed commercial drone operator.
Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

As someone who owns, flies, and uses multi-rotor flight systems (none of mine are autonomous so it annoys me to call them drones, especially when I have worked on autonomous ones), don't be the (generic - not one person here) d!ck that goes and destroys someones multi-thousand dollar piece of equipment because it annoys you.
If they are flying illegally? Fine, deal with it properly.
If not flying illegally? Talk to them. See if an agreement can be reached.
I guarantee you won't come to a peaceful and reasonable solution if you go the vandalism route...

I dunno. The language in the link Wolf posted seems pretty clear:
[QUOTE]The air is generally a public highway and the airspace overhead is part of the public domain[ii]. But, if a landowner is to have full enjoyment of his/her land, s/he must have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere[iii]. Accordingly, a landowner is protected against intrusions in the airspace immediate and direct as to subtract from the owner’s full enjoyment of the property and to limit his/her exploitation of it[iv].[QUOTE]
I would think that a drone buzzing around in the airspace immediately over my property would certainly “subtract from my full ownership of the property”. And if, as a landowner, if I am to “have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere”, I think I would be within my rights to, say, water my air with a powerful hose, as I see fit. Not saying I’d have any right to preclude a drone from flying over anyone else’s property, but directly over mine, and low enough to be a nuisance? I’d try asking politely, but only once.
Would you use that same example to justify watering the street if you didn't like whom ever was in front of your house within 83' of your property line?
"There are no finger prints under water."
Not a valid comparison. The street is outside the boundary of the property lines. If you project the property lines vertically to a given height, the drone is violating that envelope.
This conversation has not been directed towards drones flying over the streets, alleyways or other easements not specifically contained within the property line envelope.
