Welcome! I've always wanted to go further north from Michigan and into Northern Canada (I love cold weather and winters here are only 4 months)!
It sounds like many of these solutions are going to be short-term, ongoing, and frustrating.
Around here, people typically use one of two options:
1) Shoot the animals and kill them (I don't endorse or do this option myself). This does present a challenge with small pests at night, as you mentioned.
2) Live trap, followed by killing them or relocating them.
I'm a HUGE fan of live trapping and relocating. Everyone wins (unless you relocate near someone else's house lol). And, besides a trip out to the woods for relocation / release, is a fairly laid back process.
Best of luck!
