BB gun from your local Wal-Mart, $29.95. Works every time it connects and a lot more fun. Remember, they're only roof rats! Just consider it varmint hunting in an urban setting.

Monofiliment (fish line) strung along the roof which will inhibit the ability to land. Saw this used with seagulls too, they can't get their wings adjusted right to land....kinda like cat wiskers......!
