tor acquaintance, my friend was told Hi Gayle, I have used a rat trap (which is basically a large version of an old fashioned mouse trap), baited with peanut butter, successfully. The problem I have with using a pellet gun is that there is a good chance that it will not kill the animal instantly and could thus crawl to a place somewhere in the house to die, probably where you can't get at it. Good luck!
