Something is eating my plants!

Something or someone has been eating all my squash plants AND my pepper plants. They seem to eat some of the leaves, but not all of them. Some of the leaves they just leave beside the plant. I have seen no woodchucks nearby but I have seen rabbits. More than one person swears that a rabbit will not do this. I don't believe it. I have put mouse traps and human hair around them. It doesn't help. Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you.

Gardens

I have been soooooo busy trying to get all the gardens in order. Had to replant the green beans. I thought maybe it was too cold when I planted them but when I went to redo the area yesterday I found no old bean seeds. UGH!
Jake started all of our tomato and pepper plants in the green house at school. Great plants. He also started some herbs. I'm finally putting in a very small kitchen garden where I'll have my herbs.
The annual flower containers and window boxes look good so far.
The perennial beds are a LOT of work. So much harder to control the weeds when you don't till up the soil every year.
Something has been eating the summer squash plants. Think I need to sit out there at night with a pea shooter. We have mouse traps and human hair around them now. Anyone have the solution for keeping the nasty pests away, let me know!
