Dragon "riot control" at TL10 - Page 2

I have a group of TL10 (perhaps 11, if need be) humans who are landing on and colonizing a planet. The problem is, this planet is inhabited by TL3 dragons of various varieties. They recognize the dragons are intelligent, but they still feel the need to drive them off. The dragons are mostly concentrated on one specific volcanic (dormant) island, in a maze of twisty honeycombed passages. This island needs to be dealt with, and I'm envisioning it going down much like it did in the movie Avatar. (Though hopefully less lethal.)

I've never dealt with High TL equipment much. What would be the best option? Some sort of gas? Some sort of sonic weapon? Some sort of incapacitating bio-engineered virus followed by manual deportation? What would you do to drive away a bunch of moderately intelligent, low TL, rhinoceros sized flying beasties as humanely as possible? I'd prefer to stay in TL10, but TL11 is possible if need be.
