There’s a rat infiltrating John Curley’s chicken coop. And rather than use a mousetrap or a conventional method, the KIRO Radio host has his own way of handling the issue.

For the past week, Curley and his 13-year-old son have been dressing up in camouflage and entering the coop full of seven chickens at night with Airsoft guns, hoping to successfully hunt the vermin.

It hasn’t gone as planned.

Here’s what last night sounded like.
