      A PCP air gun is best for higher volume pest control that is quiet. Look up on YouTube. They are easier on the upper body than a spring powered air rifle when doing lots of shots. I prefer the larger 22 size over the 177.
      And yes, bait stations properly maintained work well as can flooding the holes and waiting with a shotgun. Also have friends who use a metal flex pipe from a small gas engine exhaust to gas the holes and it slows down the activity as well.

        Must use non lead and have a license or even if you have a depradation permit in lieu of license. Only other option is pellet gun. Also check regs if you are in LA county.

In a 16 inch barrel rifle, the ASC ammo makes no noise. I shot many rabbits at 30-40 years, one shot one kill with this ammo. You will need to manually cycle after each shot.
          Bought a case on freedom day. Use a bolt gun.

                        Build a RimX or Vudoo rifle.





                        Mount a scope that has parallax adjustment down to 15 yards.

                            Well the problem is the only squirrels left are too far away for me to get with shot shells.
                            I can come help solve this problem.
                            I have a couple friends that would also come along if you would have us.

                              Last summer we got more than 100 using these. Nothing else works better.

                                I have squirrels in my backyard, but I feed them. Started off with raw peanuts, but found out they're not good for them since they're actually legumes and not nuts. Switched to raw in shell walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans. Also have a squirrel house back there as well.

                                Don't have any desire to kill anything other than something/someone that is threatening me or my loved ones. Squirrels definitely don't fall into that category.
