I almost fell out of my chair when I read air gun 10 years ago we had a cat that would come into our garage and crap everywhere I used my sons bb gun and sat for over 2 hours untill I caught the cat sneeking into the house I shot him I know a horrible thing to do but it scared him so bad never had a problem with him again. Weeks later the neighbor complained a cat was crapping all over his garage I guess he moved.

Want to know the kicker? This house is going to sell for over $400,000. This house also sat with just the foundation done for over 6 months. We had the police here weekly due to kids wanting to play by it. My neighbors and I were worried they would fall into the 8 foot hole.

Here’s the weird thing — you would think they would have to have some sort of permit displayed and they don’t.

The air gun would be fun for target shooting, that’s for sure!

As for the rats, weeds and other pests, go to the county health department and file a complaint. Talk to your city council representative, too, but definitely the health department. If you have a building code department, try them, too. What you have next door is a public safety concern.

I wouldnt deal with it with a gun, its never the answer. How about setting cage traps, or bring it up at a town board meeting. they even sell some sort of rodent deterent that is noise.
There is a better way, just have to find it.
