You need one of those humane traps with a nice cheese and ham baggett in it,wire it up to the mains with a good earth and fry him.This is what some mate does when they catch em at work,i prefer to shoot em and get it over with quick.

Air pistols are only good for punching holes in paper targets.
Get hold of a decent air rifle if you want to shoot the rat.

get a big rat trap, nail it to a bit of wood, then melt a mars bar & stick it all over the trap, then set the trap, put in place & wait.

dont corner the rat what ever you do, it will come out fighting & will win.

or make it more happy else where, pour some creasoak [sp] under the shed lots & lots of it, then make sure that next door has some discarded food in their garden, once its gone pour strong Adult Male Wee around your boundrys, only male adult wee works, so each moring when you get up pee in a bottle

Don't try and shoot a rat with a co2 pistol, it's unhumane. I wouldn't even recommend an HW45 which is bang on the 6ft/lb limit.

This is how I kill rats, and I normally shoot about 200 a week

Get hold of a light, and rig it to an infra red sensor. Get a decent air rifle, with good sights. Put down some cat food and hide. Then as the rat triggers the beam BOOOOOOM. Seeya!

One I use for ratting is an Air Arms Pro Elite, I got it for £200. But if it's for an odd job get it 2nd hand.

My light cost £10, the sensor cost £8.

2nd hand rifle £60, 2nd hand scope £40 and away you go.

For some proper info look here

Disgusting creatures!

My customers, about 20,000 acres around Essex, Kent and Suffolk. Mind you I normally give the rats to the others, I've got enough problems with bigger stuff at the moment!

I doubt fireworks would do the trick, as soon as they see the sparks from the fuse, they would be long gone. Poison, traps, or shot IMO.

Cool

Do the rat trap thing, then drown the bugger in a bucket of water (inside the cage) & time the "process". Next one, see if its longer or shorter & have a sweepstake with the missus on it
