I had some in my yard last year. At first, I was like, "aww they're so cute! I've never seen a wild sunk alive! (not roadkill)" .. Then one started walking towards me and I was like, "no..no no .. stay back you." I baked up and little bastard turned and walked away.

We don't have an HOA, but there's a neighborhood group text/chat where they were brought up. A bunch of neighbors put down mothballs at the corners of their yards and that seemed to drive them away.
