I'm somewhat surprised that there's no purchasable solution to this problem as all of the technology to make a short range drone interdiction system already exist. To detect one all that's necessary is an appropriate camera setup and a system hooked to it capable of recognizing them, both of which are already prevalent in the market. Add an inexpensive laser range finder so the system can know if the drone is truly over your property and at an altitude acceptable for interception.
Once that's done it becomes a matter of how to interdict the drone. One relatively safe option would be for the system to deploy a high speed short range interdiction drone to overfly the other drone and drop something on top of it meant to snarl its rotors, for instance fishing line with weights.
None of that is necessarily easy but its certainly doable.
EMP systems usually are heavily regulated for a very, very good handful of reasons.
I just shoot them with a pellet gun.
