They can gaslight you, but that is just a distraction.They actually sell wipes to detect pot residue on walls, but I am not sure if they work and I would not spend the time or energy in engaging in establishing "proof" - you'll put up walls and they'll just dig more tunnels.Instead, I would:Contact their case worker ASAP, cite the behavior as a lease violation with her, and state that in addition to it being a breach of lease, it is creating health concerns for your family.
