I will risk being improper and un-PC and suggest Eating them & then urinating around your gardens.
This works well for deer abatement even my wife uses a chamber pot in the spring to have enough to mark the gardens & re-establish proper boundaries.
Rattlers are very, very good tasting and yours are "farm raised" and local.
And hey they are not eating from some chemical farmers corn field like the deer do.
I held my water on the deer thread earlier but rattlers are now protected and rare here in Wisconsin so take advantage of your good fortune.
"Tango Ombrei Porforvor" as this gringo is want to say.
