I think that's relatively fair effort. It might not feel like it since it's an immediate problem for you, but the fact that they've set traps a couple of times shows a willingness to at least try. Keep contacting them and request trapping assistance. I looked over the laws for PA and large game regulations are pretty tight there, so your basic options are (1) electric fencing/netting to try and make the area inhospitable to bears and hope they move on (2) keep pressing the issue through the proper channels and hope they eventually capture the bear, or (3) Eliminate the threat yourself, being full aware that it is illegal. Not suggesting that you do it because I don't fully understand your situation or the full scope of the law in PA (google shows a lot of people being fined/jailed for doing so), but if a dangerous animal of any kind were a threat to my family or myself, I'd dispatch him at the earliest opportunity. "Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" philosophy and all...
