This actually sounds like a pretty good idea. With a remote alarm loud enough to wake the dead and bring out the neighbors, unless he's really off the deep end, he would probably turn tail and run. If not, then she could resort to the lethal force as a back-up plan.

They have panic buttons and glass breaks and the works, the issue is that she more fears being in the yard which she spends 90% of her day working on, it is her pride and joy

I was thinking of something with a remote that she could keep with her in the yard and set off if he sets foot on her property. A good dog would alert her to his presence so she could tend her yard and not constantly keep looking over shoulder.

That would not be a bad idea either as long as the law doesn't consider it a trap
