I know you asked for air rifle information, but I also had many tree pests that were invading my 6 pecan trees. I set out 2 live catch traps and trapped over 20 the first year.
I don’t think I would of had the patience, nor the time, to have shot them instead.

Could I live trap them and then use the air rifle? I don’t wanna hurt the neighborhood cats, which is why I am exploring options. I don’t wanna use a leg trap because I would feel really bad if I hurt a pet. I would rather use a live trap, but I don’t wanna catch and release my problem on someone else. I wanna dispatch the pest quickly and humanely as well so I don’t wanna use poisons which could hurt the predator chain as well.
What bait works best for tree rats?
