: neither "annoyers" nor "harassers" is a normal English word. "Nuisances" says the same thing, but is a much more common term.

states the following (emphasis mine):
2. PUBLIC NUISANCE ABATEMENT CAN BE COMPLICATED. When a disturbance affects many individuals, that is a public nuisance, which can be very difficult to abate, especially if it has existed a long time.
A public nuisance is usually not "all bad." It often has benefits. Examples include a noisy airport, a smelly factory employing many individuals, an amphitheater providing loud entertainment to thousands, and a shopping center with traffic congestion, which provides employment and tax revenue.
The legal remedy to remove or mitigate a public nuisance is usually (a) an injunction to stop the nuisance activity, (b) a partial abatement court order, (c) a negotiated settlement, and/or (d) payment of monetary damages to allow the nuisance to continue.
The customary legal remedy to REMOVE or abate a public nuisance is for a public official, such as the city or county attorney, to bring a nuisance abatement action against the offender. However, when such an official refuses to act, matters become complicated.
