There’s a learning curve, and I can’t be sure yours are like mine, but I have to trap them out every year, one way or another- they always wander onto my property eventually, generally a couple with at least a child. Last year I had to resort to leg traps- they were entering my veg garden through a large rock wall on one side that is starting to collapse. Once they are caught I shoot them with my shotgun while they are caught by one leg- so it’s not a very pleasant pass time- but if I know I can get them quickly that way, I will go that rout- the landscape fabric is a pain to keep over everything they want to eat.
If I didn’t know where they were coming into my garden I would have eventually enticed them into my trap. Sometimes I can’t find their burrows. Mine never seem to focus on my fruit and are satisfied with a couple of peaches a day, but they destroy my veg garden if I don’t trap them.
