Is there a quiet gun that will kill snakes and small predators?

Yes, there are quiet options for killing snakes and small predators, such as air rifles or pellet guns that are designed for low noise. These firearms use compressed air or gas to propel pellets, making them significantly quieter than traditional firearms. Additionally, some .22 caliber rifles with suppressors can also be effective and relatively quiet for such purposes. However, it's important to check local regulations regarding the use of such weapons for pest control.
