Heya. Over the summer, a bunch of voles have turned my yard into swiss cheese (ok, not literally, but there are enough holes to give a distinct resemblance). I've been thinking, a .22's a bit much, not to mention the neighbors would have a fit.
I'd use poison, but we're on a well. Not to mention a bunch of birds have adopted our property as a home, and they're fun to watch (don't wanna risk killing them.)
I'm thinking a BB gun would be the key, but I don't know what I should get. I'm open to pump models, or C02 guns that get a large number of shots per cylinder.
A pistol would be preferable, but I don't know if that would have to power or accuracy to do voles at 30 feet.
Price is also a concern, I'd like something in the $20-30 range (of course, suggestions up to $50 are game).
Also... I'm open on suggestions for other ways to handle the vole problem, so if you've got any, please share.
Thanks,
Wolfe.
