Gnome people invading garden

This is my first post on this website, so hopefully this works. I am looking for some advice. Little gnome people keep crawling through the holes in my fences and gnawing at my daisies and pumpkins. No one believes me when I tell them, they think it's foxes, but I know those sneaky little buggers all too well, they're definitely up to something and I have to find out what, but no one I know will help me, so I came here in the case that someone has had a similar experience? Please share any solutions if so.

Check your sheds, they hide there during daylight hours, you know under that bit of sacking in the corner! Have an open dog cage at the ready and bundle them in, but watch out they bite!

I think they hide in plain sight. By day, an innocent statue fishing in your neighbour’s pond. Not everybody knows that, it’s only on a need to gnome basis.

I enjoyed the David Bowie song and gnomistake. 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

I wonder if David Bowie ever looked back and thought "yes, it was The Laughing Gnome that kick-started my fabulous career. Happy days!"

Yes, and they’re the only ones who don’t bite.
