You need a terrier not an air rifle.

I'm certainly no lover of rats, but will an air rifle kill them or just injure them. From what little I know about them an injured rat can also be dangerous as it may not be able to run away, so will possibly turn on you if you happen to get close without seeing it on the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cairn terriers. That's what you want.

I know someone who knows someone 'round your way who can send them in if you want..:smile:

My brother had problems with mice. He bought a pretty powerful 'toy' pellet gun. It shot plastic pellets and killed the mice. It'd have to be a head shot, though, to take out a rat, I suspect.

how about a catapult instead? easier to hide when plod comes knocking at the door and ammo's cheap, just nick a few handfuls of red chippings from a neighbour's drive. Load up 4 or 5 stones for the 'shotgun' effect, not that I've ever tried it myself of course.
