Not a joke at all. Determined to get the best tool for killing rats. I know zero about guns but will learn.

Small + QUIET to kill rats at close range ?*?

You're really using the wrong tool for the job. A gun is not what you need you need. As I suggested before what you didn't look at it is review a lot of videos on YouTube on this channel twin home experts. These guys have solved infestation problems probably much worse than yours. Shooting might be fun and entertaining and rewarding but shooting one while the other rats will scatter and only shooting one every few hours is not going to solve your problem. It also is going to take up a lot of time and grow old very quickly.

I have been looking at rat hunting with air guns videos on YouTube. I need to get my order into Pyramyd Air in tomorrow morning so busy reading reviews of what they recommend. Once that order is in, I will watch the videos you recommend. Thank you.

That is exactly what I would get only in .50 to make sure I would anchor them so they cant crawl off and eat my neighbors chickens.

Thank you! Don't know what this means yet but copying it on my list of questions to ask Pyramyd Air in the morning. Really appreciate the feedback.

Umarex notos .177 or .22 is very quiet and compact the stock is optional in fact. I would turn down the air volume per shot because….its a rat however then you have a low cost laser of a PCP for small game. And as others have said stop feeding them lol, I understand you dont want them to eat your house but now they are just breeding and breeding I think you may be beyond shootin your way out of this one(didn’t think those words would ever come out of my mouth). Get a 5 gal bucket and attach a rod to a plate that will just fit in the bucket put water in bucket to kill no water and they cant escape but theyll start eating each other pretty dang quick. However bait the top they walk on it it spins and drops them in and resets itself. A quick google search will bring up tons of instructional vids.

if you can ? a clothes dryer hose taped to your car exhaust will flood the small room with exhaust . But just thought of rotting rat bodies in the nest area . .
As far as the fence posts in back ,you could put a metal shield to block the pellets ??

Capsaicin-dipped blowgun darts works well on rats; the pain shocks them death.
I used to smear my dart tips (vinyl cone darts and Tri-Disc darts) with siling labuyo, a local chili, but I was deadly accurate with blowguns, so it was either neck or head shots for me.

My blowguns are custom-made, Tn sir.
Also had a glass .45 caliber one but a mishap broke it in half.
I also own polished stainless ones in .45 and .50 caliber (left and middle). The ones on top are both .55 caliber.
In my native land, I had access to a multitude of machine shops, so I had jigs, shapers, punch tools, etc. for precise dart-making; I made it into a science

I bought this baby a while back and have been dying to try it out.
Give me your LAT / LONG and I'll start the launch sequence.

Carbon tubes are hard to get smooth and uniform on the inside, I guess it could be done but not cheap.
