Rat traps and peanut butter. Works for lazy squirrel hunters too.
My barn has been overrun by rats lately.
15gr jsb exact from my Qb78.
When I used to shoot them in the freed storage, I used rat shot an my .22 buckmark.
Jack Russell Terriers have been my favorite means of rat extermination for many years. Even the 10wk old pups are fur fighting monsters!

This^^^^^A walk-the-plank type or a log-roll attachment for a garbage bin half full of water is a much more efficient means of rodent control. Bonus is you don't have to touch the little dead buggers.
Cheap. Can catch dozens at a time. Environmentally friendly, non-toxic.
Sure you can, do both.Yes, but then you don’t get to shoot them!
A BIG barn cat.Good air gun and or barn cat
What sort of fur bering critter are you holding in your left hand? I notice your Jack Russell pup has his eye on it.Jack Russell Terriers have been my favorite means of rat extermination for many years. Even the 10wk old pups are fur fighting monsters!

LOL, our MinPins used to do that. They were raters, Now and then we got lucky and caught them bringing their prize in the house and could take it and trade for something. Now and then we would find the mess when they ate it and of course then threw it up, always on the damn bedIt’s an Eastern Woodrat. She had killed it while we were walking back from feeding horses that night and brought it to me, and during the photo was wanting it back.
After raising Jack’s, I believe that behavior is instinctive - they’re egotistical little terrors, so they’ll kill something, bring it to me to show it off, but then run away to try and eat it (in entirety) before I take it away to stop them (which usually then means they throw it up later somewhere in the house, since it’s simply too big). She was still young enough she was certain I was going to give it back to her after the photo op... no such luck...
She looks so young. How old is she and what's her name? That's a big rat. We have problems with Pack Rats, much smaller, but smart and crafty.It’s an Eastern Woodrat.
