Unfortunately the fence has been there since before we moved in. It's a battle I'm tired of fighting.

I'm curious what others in similar situations have done. I've tried talking to them before but none of them give a shit since the growth from their weeds is on my side. Not their problem and all that BS.

Picture attached for reference. I don't think antifreeze and aids infected needles will help here.
You might want to consult with an attorney. In Missouri, the law provides that your neighbor can TAKE you piece of property after 10 years by fencing it in an open and adverse manner. If that fence is incorporating some of YOUR land, you need to legally oppose that action and get it rectified. This is a STUPID law in Missouri. Not all states allow for this.
