Another thing we have is low voltage garden lights on stakes throughout the yard - and we have left open spaces in our planting areas. Nothing is overgrown. The lights are on a timer, dusk to dawn and are very inexpensive to run. Having these discourages any nocturnal critters from taking up residence.
The garden lights are in our enclosed courtyard, close to the ground- so do not bother the neighbors- we checked to make sure.
