Hmmm, I always took “short arm” to mean something else.

It’s efficient how the predators come in and do carcass disposal for you.

Organize 100 to 200 air-rifle armed air men. 200 to be beaters and sweep the base in a controlled way to force the furred invaders to a single location and began the culling...

If the airmen are squeamish call in the Marines and or the US Army.

Prairie Dogs…

.17HMR will take them nicely. There used to be a crew out in Montana / Wyoming that specialized in eradicating them with long range precision shots. They had videos showing them using .223 and .17 HMR. Pretty gruesome. I think they were “Maximum Carnage”…

My yard is covered with oak trees. I used to have squirrels dancing on the roof, so bad that they ate the boots off the vent pipes and let water get under the shingles. Then a little stray kitty showed up (which we have now adopted) and cleaned house. There are still squirrels in the trees, but none on the house and they are real cautious-like when they touch ground

Bring about 5,000 cats to that facility and the squirrels will be gone in no time. Poor rodents, but there’s no other way...

This new trap there’s no live squirrels.

Yeah, that trap has a "No Country For Old Men" vibe. Stacks the critter corpses very efficiently.

They could superglue little GI birth control eyeglasses on the males.

Not even tree rats...

Anytime anyone got orders for Minot, the jokes started...”Why not Minot?”. “Freezin’s the reason.”....”a woman behind every tree”....

They prefer to strap themselves to rockets.

Are they also known for carrying Hanta(sp) Fever and Bubonic Plague?

Then they would have a feral cat problem. Better to let the critters natural predators on base.

Let some foxes in there, they will take care of the problem.
