I have the same problem and they get into everything. Now is a bad time for them due to winter coming and they just keep gardening in the garden and containers. By gardening I mean burying pecans and acorns for winter but they tear up the plants in the process and they've been braking eggplants off the plants along with some of the branches. They've also been ripping the insulation off of the hose bibs at the garden to make nest with.
My neighbor/Uncle used to keep them in check by trapping with a box trap using peanut butter as bait but he quit because he can't give them away fast enough and the freezer is full. I guess I'll thin them out over winter and make a few gumbos.
