so that does not reduce my stress level.....

Wish I could afford to keep a DOG--- by all accounts that is a major deterrent.

My other idea is to place standard mousetraps throughout the garden---

It would hurt to step onto one of those, and provide "negative feedback"--
while it wouldn't kill an animal of that size...

The little bastards have wrecked things to one degree or another for the past two years....

(The colony is centered under my next-door neighbor's garage...
I managed to live-trap ONE of them for relocation in that time, but that's all)
