How to keep neighbors dog off my side off porch/Deck?

My neighbor and I share a huge back porch.Its large enough we both have gas grills we both have patio sets mine is a 6 chair large round table and her grill is a 5 burner and a side burner. so we are talking plenty of room.So this summer her son moved out.So she doesn't walk the dog its half lapsa half something not a big dog. She isn't old> the neighbor she has a 11 year old .They wont walk the dog so it urinates and poops all over the porch she doesn't clean her side at all.I put a mop broom and bucket for all to use as a hint.NOPE.talk to the landlord.He talked to her nope.The adjacent Businesses under us have complained from the urine dripping down .She don't care.I asked the landlord to purchase me a gate . He aid for me to get it.She isn't my tenant ! so any natural repellents to keep the dog of my side.I mean I sprayed the porch with bug barrier cause we get flys and ants bad well with the poop it attracts them more.i go to the fridge next to the window i will see poop and a family of flys on my screen staring at me.The smell is gross when the wind or fans blow.The only room I don't have air conditioning.Because the apartments electrical wont hold that much usage.I have them in 4 rooms already or i would have put one in the kitchen too.So any suggestions?I cant talk to her #1 she denies it #2 I will admit i am short tempered and have anger management issues ,# 3 she thinks she is wonder woman cause she don't take her medication and i truly love her daughter so wooping her moms azz over something petty ,i wouldn't be able to spend time with the daughter anymore.So suggestions please Thank you

Update:

The worst part is her apartment is spotless .she vacuum's at least twice a day.Her and her daughter dress as meticulous as can be. But her trash ,cans and porch NASTY

Update 2:

I have given the landlord 3-4 months of photos dated and time stamped.My mom was going for the throw it at the wench LOL i was towards old fashion brown bag stink bomb then the landlord has to come clean the effects from the building and she will get the message .Instead i have opt to with hold my rent until the gate is paid for and installed .which in our state is legal.

    Sounds as if you have tried nearly every avenue but have come up short on help

    My only suggestions would be ...

    Take pictures and then go to your local town or city hall, show them the pictures and invite them to see for themselves from your side of the porch. It is illegal to have your property in such a way that would infringe on someones enjoyment of their own property and to leave your pet's defecation and urine which could cause a health issue.

    You have tried speaking with your adjoined neighbor and speaking with your landlord so she gives you very few options.

    No one should have to be forced to endure living with the repercussions of someones laziness for picking up and cleaning after their pets. Friendship with the neighbors daughter does not mean you have to live with their short comings.

    Well what you could do is spray them with a hose or if you really want to you can sit in your backyard with a shotgun and maybe that will scare them. The only reason kids do things that they shouldn't it because they could because they think there are no consequences and it is important to let them know exactly what they can and can't do it if you can try talk to the parents if not you have the right to deal with it yourself you can call the police or you can do it yourself. Personally for me I like to give a warning then talk to the parents that talk to the police then do with it myself. The rules might be different where you live because I live in California you have the right to do different things but I suggest you look up what you can and can't do legally so u don't get in trouble
