Other than eating up his plants and keeping him awake at night

What are some methods he could use to get rid of them?
Shooting is out of the question.
Someone told him to try ammonia but he says it doesn't seem to do any
good.

Just a little tip. If you shoot from inside a building, through an
open window of course, preferably standing farther from the window,
then the shooting sound is very muffled and it does not even quite
sound like a gunshot.

What I am getting at, is that if you fire a .22 rifle from inside your
mobile home, your neighbors probably will not even notice.

Condition them a little bit by doing some fireworks at random moments,
running runaway diesel engines without mufflers, etc and you will be
all set.
