Time to declare war on Squirrels. What kind of weapon should I get?

Squirrels keep eating my plants. I take this personal. I have a crappy pellet gun that don't shoot straight. What weapon do I need? Looking to keep it at $150 or under. I'm in a neighborhood (we have big yards) so I have to keep the collateral damage minimal and noise levels down.
Until I get my weapon, I'm setting rat traps in my trees. Heard that works pretty good.

My uncle traps them and I use them to train my dog.

Any cheap 22 with subsonic ammo.
Marlin makes some affordable rifles. Check them out.

Gamo or Benjamin pellet rifles if you are in a subdivision.
22 if you don't have neighbors close by.

My Dad (87) slayed them for years with a Crossman shooting BB's, but after I upgraded him with a sighted-in, 1400 FPS Gamo pellet rifle, his recovery ratio went WAY up. He figures he's killed nearly 1000 over the years out of his backyard (in BR). They ate stuff in his garden for years, but when they started screwing up his orchids, it was ON.

AR-22 is the only possible answer.

I live in the back of a neighborhood within the city limits. A marlin model 60 and .22lr subsonics kills lots of squirrels and rabbits in my yard.

Gamo Whisper is about the quietest air rifle around. Its close to that price range is not under it.

these are awesome, but I think they're about $200 with the scope included
