A high power, subsonic air rifle can whack the little tree rats good.  If it is subsonic you won't have the rifle "crack" to annoy your disney infatuated neighbors. 

Only problem with shooting tree rats is when you thin the herd at your place, they start drifting in from surrounding properties.  Or maybe this is an opportunity - especially if you are from Tennessee and like squirrel stew.

One of the renowned western pioneers, Daniel Boone?  Davey Crockett?, used to show European visitors his way of filling the stewpot.
He called it dusting.
He would shoot at the tree, at a point near a squirrel.  The stunned squirrel would be tomahawked and thrown into a sack.
By one account, he managed to bag twenty squirrels in half an hour.
Kept the stewpot full.
There is a famous recipe in Virginia from colonial days, called Brunswick stew.  Today it calls for a "plump chicken."  If you look at the earliest versions, it calls for a "plump squirrel."

I would be a little bit cautious.  They talk about squirrel guns in some of those old timey songs.
If they had guns in those days they've prolly got automatic rifles and flamethrowers now.
You guys always arguing about your right to arm bears should learn from this.  Squirrels are
plenty bad enough, especially when they are teenage mutant ninja squirrels who,  the cartoon
tells us,  thrive in the sewer system.  I used to always pictured D. Boone and those guys killing
squirrels to get their guns.  The shoe is on the other foot it seems.

2nd Amendment baby. Even our squirrels are armed!

Not all those who wander are lost;

If you end up with armed squirrels you may want to employ some counter sniper kittens.

While your puppy fumbles to get his sword out of it's sheath, Mr. Smith will put two between his eyes.
