These are my suggestions…Your signs may be adequate could be but there is a rule that when the gates are not locked there is implied right of entry to the front door, so they might still enter. If you don’t want to lock your gates you just have competently written trespass signs with stated penalties for infractions on them on every entry point and an Application to Enter Private Property at your fingertips. (if you want a copy of that then let me know). If they come to your front door you can get them to agree that they saw the trespass signs three times and maybe then you hand them the Application to Enter Private Property which they must fill out (and pay the non refundable application fee) before they have permission to come on your property again (and it is up to you as to whether you give them that permission). In my opinion it’s just a matter of knowing what to do and what questions to ask to put them and if we are prepared in advance then nothing they do will ruffle our feathers and we will always know how to deal with whatever is happening in the most effective way.
