    Set a box trap for them. You will have to bait it and then release in the woods at least 5 miles away. This is for any of those type pesky critters. There are a few other think you can do that might work. If you can find their tunnel, pour ammonia in it. Spread garlic and pepper around to deter them. Sprinkle talcum powder or agricultural lime on the ground. Human hair spread around, you can get it from a hair salon.

    I redirected them with veggie scraps away from my veggie garden to the empty lot at one house we lived in and they never came back. I did it repeatedly for about two weeks and they started munching on the weeds over there instead of climbing my little chicken wire fence.

    HI Cindy. You can get a live trap and bait them. Then once caught release some where away from your house.
