We've had the same problem, those little varmints can really do some serious damage. Trouble is how to get rid of them when you're married to an animal lover?
Well my dear wife tried out a sonic thumper, it's a spike you bury in the ground right to grass level. I was of course very skeptical of such a device, but no kidding they do work and the good thing is it keeps chipmunks away as well. We got ours at Agway and they have a pretty good effective range too. I think they cost about 30 bucks or so per thumper. 4 of them keep them out of my yard which is 40K square feet.
