Who makes a good pellet gun these days? Suburban tree rat problems

My wife is feeding the squirrels regularly, by filling bird feeders that the squirrels know how to attack.

I like watching both of them so I'm just going to let it go.

The thought of dead pigeons reminded me of a former co-worker who built a pigeon popper. A square of plywood is topped by a metal plate. That metal plate is topped by a square of plywood smaller than the base. The smaller square is, in turn, topped by another metal plate. The smaller metal plate is topped with suitable pigeon chow. (Picture a square pigeon buffet with a surrounding walkway.) The two metal plates are connected to a neon sign power supply. The pigeon stands on the bottom plate, pecks at food on the top plate, completing a 6kv-12kv circuit. I never saw it in action, but John said it was like watching corn popping. Might be adapted for squirrels.

Little late on this post but I was looking into a new air rifle myself and found this...

This should do the trick, a 2500 PSI, .357 air rifle for only $1500
