traps are best for rats and stoats.
Plan B if all else fails but if you're not good Plan A.

Who says? Fenn 4's are legal for squirrels (among other vermin). WTF do
you do with a live-caught one? It's against the law to release vermin on
someone else's land. Drop the live trap in the rain-barrel? A Fenn is
much more humane. I really don't think you've thought this one through!

It takes about 8 seconds to drown the rat, better than trying to shoot it
and just injuring it so it takes hours to die!

It takes a lot longer than that to drown a rat - it can hold its breath
for around thirty seconds, for a start.

And if you can't hit a rat in the head with an airgun pellet at
point-blank-range, you shouldn't be in charge of the thing.
