Simple solution is not to shoot toward the house. In fact that's kind of a Golden Rule.
True, but the little critters are living under the front walkway.
So a little hard to shoot away from the house vs sitting on the front lawn looking toward the walkway and grass line.
Been fighting these monsters for about six years now with varying success. Trying to go away from using the mouse trap, bird seed, and bucket method which has worked just great!
But looks super ghetto with respect to curb appeal.
I gave up the fight last year and the lawn looks like a herd of cows came trampling in.
Really wish there were feral cats in this neighbourhood.
