Graffiti mitigation suggestions?

Hello,

I have a 6ft fence surrounding one of my properties.

A couple years ago, there was a smaller graffiti "tag" that occurred. I decided to not do anything about it because:

  • It was not very large
  • My thoughts were that if I tried to remove it then whoever did it may try something more apparent in retaliation

Recently, a larger, very apparent "tag" was spray painted.

  • It is "Yayo" in large letters. I don't think this is affiliated with anything but young neighborhood kids being destructive.
  • It did get me thinking about removal more because I really do need to do something about it.

What do you do about graffiti on your properties?

  • Do you fight it?
  • Do you let it go?
  • What materials do you use to cover it? Paint? Any particular brand you have had success with?

Thanks, Chris

Rudy Gulliani method (the moment it goes up, we paint right over it). Depends on the material. We have only dealt with brick and wood fencing.
