My aunt does something similar to catch ground mice where she doesn’t want them.
She doesn’t want me to kill it(them)...so I’ll just have to treat it as a friendly rivalry.
I’ve already taken to peeing outside. Not sure if it’s going to help, but I’ve been seen once by the neighbors and found it amusing. Will continue.
Hubby has done that in the past for deer, we had a doe coming up into the garden a few years ago. It seemed to work.
