I have been using my .177 air rifle (1000FTPerSEC). It kill the critters but does not damage my roof or siding. I guess if I missed them it would dent the roof tiles or the siding. It works fine on feral cats, raccons and dogs. One shot=one kill. It works for me. Fuzzy Squirrels and pidgons are real pest, they damage homes and commercial property.

Hail Offler! http://billllsidlemind.blogspot.com/2008/07/small-gods.html The run-up to this arrangement is too evil and demented for words, and also required too much tending, but involved launching squirrels from an air cannon. Fun, but impractical. If they're chewing the roof, they're probably hungry. I got 9 squirrels in 2.5 weeks with a piece of 4 in PVC pipe, a bucket of water, and some peanut butter.

If they’re chewing the roof, they’re probably hungry.

A standard scope, or iron sights are perfectly fine. Use a suppressed .22, or a high-velocity .177 (which is a LOT louder than a suppressed .22). Forget using shot- you'll end up tearing up the roof as much as you would the squirrel. Why on earth would you use a nightvision scope when squirrels are not nocturnal?
