in thier nest will they move on?

A .22 rifle with a decent scope will end that problem permanently . And make
a nice pot pie .

high power air gun probably less hassle.

Given the current environment, probably best to give the
local police a "heads up" if you decide to harvest a few
with the air gun, to avoid the SWAT team and local tv
responding to a terrorist on the roof with a gun.

These looks like a good buy. Never dealt with this company,
but their catalog just hit my mail box.

Gunner and our other shooters -- any experience with either
of these?
