Mickey, thanks for the link.
In three years I have trapped 17 voles, 3 pocket gophers, 2 pack rats, and 3 squirrels in my garden. Squirrels get relocated near a lake six miles away. Pack rats have been known to expire in the traps before I attend to them. Vole and gopher traps kill the beasties. Right now I think rabbits might be the only animals nibbling on my garden, and I'm hoping for coyotes to return soon. Deer are a little too big for the traps, so it's Liquid Fence and Contec "bambi blasters" to keep them at bay. There's been a little nibbling of flower buds by deer this year, but not so much as in previous years. The fence keeps out the javelina, and I've only lost two plants to attacks from subterranean vole attacks.
It may be that the sonic/ultrasonic bleeper that I keep in the garage is helping to keep rodents away from there a bit. We've had rodent damage to cars when we lived in NJ.
