I have been toying with the use of lasers for controling pests, mainly rabits that are destroying my garden. The slugs out of my pellet gun annoy the critters, but they just keep coming back for more, and I am somewhat concerned with a neighbor calling our local police saying there is a mad man running around with a gun in the city. So I tried using a 5 mw green laser on the rabbit, and after a short while it bothers him (or her?) and it hops away. My idea is either to chase it away, or make it blind so I can walk up to it and club it with the butt of the pellat gun. I see there are 1 and even 2 watt blue lasers, which would probably easily burn out its eye sight. I don't know how humane that would be, but I am also concerned with running about the neighborhood with a 2 watt laser that might be a danger to other humans, nor do I want burning rabbits hopping all over the place. Any thoughts or suggestions on this? Is 2 watt a bit overkill, and maybe a 50 mw might do the trick? Seems to me a laser might be also good for other pests such as mice and rats. Would a laser with a focus on it be better for this use? Roland riemers@wiktel<com

pepper should do the trick.
