Sahih Muslim 1200c
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ ابْنَ عُمَرَ مَا يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي إِحْدَى نِسْوَةِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ الْكَلْبِ الْعَقُورِ وَالْفَارَةِ وَالْعَقْرَبِ وَالْحُدَيَّا وَالْغُرَابِ وَالْحَيَّةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الصَّلاَةِ أَيْضًا ‏.‏
Zaid b. Jubair reported:

A person asked Ibn 'Umar which beast a Muhrim could kill, whereupon he said: One of the wives of Allahs Apostle (ﷺ) told me: He (the Holy Prophet) commanded to kill voracious dog, rat, scorpion, kite, crow, and snake (and this is allowed) likewise in prayer.
