Waiting with the rifle ready, pumped 3-4 times, I would shoot from my back bedroom to smoke the tiny intruders. Over the course of a few weeks, I was killing a few per night at first, and in total, took several dozen rats and mice out of our house, until it finally seemed like the issue was finally squashed. Far more productive than traps and glueboards - and more fun.
I'm with more fun, more than one way to scratch the ol hunting itch. My garden is full of edibles, rodents are always a problem. I even trapped a Raccoon back there. I wish an Owl or a Weasel would show up and help resolve my problem. They are breeding faster than I can eliminate them.
