I have had very good luck replacing the rechargeable batteries in solar lights with new rechargeable batteries ! Theres usually a littlte hatch somewhere you can get at with a tiny phillips head screwdriver. I replaced one at a time with a new battery, if it diddnt revive, i swspped the new battery into the next one. Over 75% of my moms dead lights sprang back into life after a day in the sunvwith a new battery. ( i went one by onecbecause i didnt want to buy a lot of rechargable batteries at high cost if it wasnt going to work out. I just bought a few at a time)

If there are any fence related costs on the retaining side, you should advise said neighbour of total and half and suggest they pay half. Choices, consequences. Here that actually has its own Act. Not sure about there. Leave the ants alone in future (as much as possible). 😊
