I'd hope the "retaining walls" have some rebar.

Dunno. But, I've belated learned the way to go is either to
put rodenticide in there (no more hugging 'dem critters); or,
to put the Mcabee trap (it hugs them for you).

Once I'm sure the rodent is gone, I can then continue on
with covering all my "lawns" with wood chips:

Just when you think they are gone, they come back to see you.

Buy a .22 caliber revolver - use snake shot for the round. If you do
try to trap them, paint a scarlet letter on them, so you know what is
going on
