Is it strictly rodent control you want, or rodent control and target practice? Don't get me wrong, but if all you want is to get rid of the nasties, why bother shooting 'em? A heavy duty mouse trap will do every bit as good a job. The sticky ones are best, providing a real horror show for surviving members that will live in their memories for a long, long time. An effective deterent for future invasions.

The large spring loaded ones are good too---messier, but lethal. They work well with all sorts of pests: squirrels, possums, rats, birds, and yes... even mice.

Shooting or poisoning varmints in or around the house is not an option in my book. Some manage to get away wounded or sick, and then die in your walls. Then you wonder where on earth the leftover sushi is hailing from.

Outdoors is another story. A .62 caliber blowgun with 5" hunting darts will do the trick. Quick and deadly. Just make sure it's legal in your area.
