Place hardware mesh anywhere that you don't want any mice/rats/etc to get into. Plant natural things that rodents dislike like: sagebrush, lavender, citronella and mint. Sprinkle cinnamon around where they come and soak cotton balls in vinegar and place them in the rat burrows. Encourage owls to nest in your area by building an owl box, bird bath, reduce lighting because owls don't like that for hunting at night. Keeping your grass short will dissuade rodents but owls prefer a taller grass because it helps with encouraging them to come so owls can hunt. Put all these rodents your catching in an area where big birds and owls can eat them. Maybe make a platform on a perch. Hope some of these ideas help 🙂
If this is a community/neighborhood problem, then having the township involved in educating them may be another route. Bring it up as an issue at town council meetings 👍
