Have the same problem and we’re checking out a quiet BB gun, but it’s a pain to have to wait up and catch them in the act.
Chose a high powered air rifle and plug the end of the barrel with phelsnaptha soap, then aim for the third eye.
If I was in the country I could do that, but I live in the city.
A BB gun is how I use to keep rabbits from using my flower gardens as a salad bar....didn’t kill them, just sting enough to make them leave, then it seem like word got around and I rarely see them anymore....
