You can sue your ex-wife for invasion of privacy which is interference with your right to be let alone.
Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit for invasion of privacy) would include mental distress.  You can also seek punitive damages ( a substantial amount) to punish your ex-wife's intentional, wrongful act of bugging your house.
