Introduction: Get Rid of Pests

About: i build custom paintball guns from scratch including one i drew up from scratch and im going to start on a Barret .50cal

this is going to be a guide on how to get rid of or scare away small pest including; birds, coons, and even muskrats.

Step 1: Were to Look for the Creatures

First of all, All animals need; Shelter, food, and water to survive. Solook at the places around that are most abundant with these resources

Step 2: Were to Hit Them

I would suggest for finches get them right in the lung were the wing rests when not in flight. For muskrats and coons I would suggest getting a very powerful gun like the winchester 800X from www.bassproshops.com very powerful can be used to take out everything. As for placing the shot around the lungs again I've found works

Step 3: Scaring Them Away

This only works with birds. Another Idea would be to Kill one bird and hang it from its legs. Other birds see the dead bird and run thinking it means death will come

Step 4: Last Resort

For the last resort I would sugest hiring the locall farm kid with a pellet gun because they live with pest and make a living shooting them. Also a plus bonus is you can hire them for how many birds they shoot for 5 bucks a bird or 10 bucks for small mammals. and it's cheaper then hiring a proffensional exterminater
