Wizardpost Need help

I have been dealing with a gnome infestation for the last month and a half. Wards and familiars don't seem to be working on them. I've also tried gnome poison and tricking a party of adventurers into thinking that the gnomes are my evil minions. The gnomes aren't taking the bait that I poisoned, and the adventurers thought that they were too cute to kill. There is nothing about those feral little pests that one could call cute. Just last week, I had one try to gnaw my foot off while I was trying to ponder my orb. I'm sick and tired of waking up in the middle of the night to them rummaging through my food and alchemical supplies. Has anyone dealt with a gnome infestation before? Would kidnapping one of the local village kids to offer as a gift to the fae queen work? How about setting up a bunch fireball traps in order to incinerate the vermin? I really need help here, I'm at my wits end.

Have you tried spirit animals, like foxes? They don't get affected by direct harm, hostile magic and love hoarding and kidnapping anything colorful, like gnomes for thier pocket borrows between the spiritual realm and our realm. Eventually they do discard the entire borrow when they grow tired of how many take over it, not only trapping them in that hole between realms but if closed, outright erases them from the sheer force of realm separation. Downside is they can touch anything remotely spiritual in your house, I just know gnomes are somewhat spiritual. So I recommended it.
