    As the title says. My garden is destroyed at the moment. I need an answer that doesn't involve murder.

    They have some powder pellet stuff in woodies that would repel them.
    They're creatures of habit though so its take a while to break the habit.

    Water spray with some pepper chilly powder. Not in their eyes though. Just the coat when they start licking.

    Sprinkle Coffee grinds around. Works a treat.

    Do NOT spray chilli powder onto animals!
    Water spray them every time you catch one in the garden . They hate it bit it won't hurt them. This will work

    Pellet gun, aim for the legs, and make sure not to get it in the eye. Very sore in the eyes.

    I heard that lion's sh*t keeps them away. They think that the territory has been marked by a bigger beast.

    Motion sensor activated sprinkler; trying to do it manually only means they avoid you and not your garden. Don't bother with motion sonic sounds etc. as they are not going to work; other option depending on size is to locate their ways in and block them (fence with this net pointed out for example would stop them coming in; put it like on picture and they go in but can't get out which is not what you want).
