They can be da*n destructive as you well know, and can be a challenge to get rid of. .177 pellet might work, maybe worth a try. A .22 short will work. Might want to start now. Live traps just create more work for you and opportunity for them. Poison in the burrow or nest as well but that creates other issues.

I let the neighborhood fox take care of the tree rats, rodents and rabbits, I take care of the woodpeckers and their drumming, and blackbirds that sheat all over everything in the spring. The little .177 takes care of them.
