I have tried.
1. Dog/cat hair and waste
2. Wind chimes
3. Pin wheels
4. Fake owl with rotating head
5. Cayenne pepper
6. Neem oil
7. Solution mixing pepper, garlic, ect...
8. Hot pepper soot
9. Mouse traps (with paper over them, strictly to scare)
I might of missed some, but I think you get the idea.
I HAVE DONE EVERY thing that I could think of. I refuse to shoot them or drown.
My last last last resort is to literally dig a moat around my garden, will they touch water
