Vermin Control

Hi, my old fellow, he currently has a shotgun license and he shoots rats in his garden, I've told him to not bother renewing his shotgun license and to sell his firearm. As an alternative, does anyone know of a high powered air rifle etc that will kill a rat instantly? I do have an old air rifle, but I once shot a rat and it took many pellets to finish the poor bugger off. Any help would be much appreciated.

Intelligent birds with an evil streak.

Used to do the grass in a quadrangle at an old folks home.

In spring, we'd find headless starling chicks on the floor- magpies would pluck them from the nests.

You'll have to send me a photo of him first. I don't engage with clients if I don't know what they look like.

don't get killing any animal because you deem it a pest

foxes are pests

cats can be too

where do you draw the line?

other day on my way out saw a dead pigeon on the drive

thought I'd deal with it when I get back

got back to find two massive crows ravaging it

So you disagree with kangaroo culls I take it?

Over our side feral goats are a problem. At one time the local government were offering cash incentives to kill them. Now they rely on culling.

Here in Andalusia it's feral cats. They cull them round here - not sure about waffers area.
