I got it!

See. You get you a tin chair and cooler of your favorite adult beverage and a .22. Sit out back and wait for one of those little suckers to show them selves, and then blow them away!

I guess a BB gun could work but the range is a little better with the .22.

Invite the neighbors over, make it a party.

What? Why would it land you in jail to shoot a BB gun?

I live close enough to the county training and firing range that I am so use to hearing the gun fire, I notice it more when it isn't happening.

Ok. So you need a bat. Of course that means you cant just sit and wait. You will have to seek them out.

 Because I live in a neighborhood, Lily.

The houses behind me are no more than 80 or 90 feet away from my back patio. It's only about 40 feet, from my house, to the fence.

If I shot any kind of gun, even a BB gun, and hit someone's child or pet in the next yard.

Yup, gotta believe, I'd be doing time.cry

I would never take the chance.

Chickens in the neighborhood. Sounds like a bad late night movie.

The range for a .22 is a little over a mile.  If you're shooting up at something on top of a fence, you can't possibly see what's down range of it.
