The CCI 3740 Pest Control Shotshell delivers effective close-range pest elimination in a standard 40 S&W cartridge case. This specialized ammunition transforms any 40 caliber handgun into a versatile pest control tool without requiring additional equipment or modifications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional jacketed bullets that can over-penetrate and create safety hazards, these shotshells contain multiple #9 shot pellets that spread upon firing. The 88-grain payload provides sufficient energy for small pest elimination while minimizing ricochet risk on hard surfaces. Standard 40 S&W chambering ensures compatibility with existing firearms without modification.
Key Features

These shotshells excel in barn environments, warehouses, and rural properties where pest control requires precision without structural damage concerns. The shot pattern spreads to approximately 3-4 inches at typical engagement distances, increasing hit probability on small, fast-moving targets. Reliable primer ignition and consistent powder charges ensure dependable function in semi-automatic and revolver platforms.
