It's tough when the species that wreck your garden are protected. Hopefully you were able to release them far enough away that they can't come back.
Can you use repellents to keep them out of your gardens?

I am continually amazed at how many things are out there trying to eat everyone's gardens, and they are things that I had no idea were out there I wish you good luck getting rid of them all.

I know!
I always thought of hamsters as pets...but given what's in hamster feed, I should have realized that they could be serious garden pests in their native area.

See this film on youtube about a typical European hamster character: I am continually amazed at how many things are out there trying to eat everyone's gardens, and they are things that I had no idea were out there I wish you good luck getting rid of them all. It seems I will have to make friends with them. The more I remove, the more appear. I Can you use repellents to keep them out of your gardens? I haven`t heard of any repellents yet. The best repellent is a cat, I suppose.

pawian -Looks like those pesky rodents have busy hands besides sharp teeth, lol. Last year, I live-trapped and relocated a few Chipmunks at my house, but Mom's place is where the action is. I caught and gave a ride to three Raccoons, 16 Squirrels and 39 Chipmunks. Now, in the middle of winter, she has seemingly more Squirrels than ever! We feed the birds and the Squirrels are NOT sleeping in the winter like they used to 35 years ago.They are messing with the bird feeders and chasing the birds away. I'll be busy trapping come spring.

pawian, I'm guessing people don't give those to their kids for pets!
