I had the same problem with one plant that layed it's leaves over a power/cable wire that they use to walk on. After several times being sprayed in head from my hose they stayed away. Also I have dogs and cats that help keep them out of the actual yard area. Harvey posted a link to a super trap that kills them quickly. I'd invest in some those and a really good pellet gun if I were you. Maybe you could give them water at the corners of your property as that's what they are getting from nibbling the leaf centers. That may slow them down and give you a chance for a clean shot at the same time.
