In a back yard for control of vermin - rats.
Back yard is fenced.
In the city limits.
Air pistol - like this one: http://goo.gl/ZmQCM1
( Personally I dont' think this is the weapon of choice for this mission, Norway rats are tough.
But that is what is available today. )

Reason for use: back yard chickens need protecting.
So, deployment of rat killing dogs are not currently in the discussion.
And the use of poison is completely off the table.
