"Varmint" is a slang word meaning "pest." It's not really a word, but a homespun mispronunciation of the word "vermin."

All the previous answers assume you didn't hear the "n"--and they may well be right. But if that's wrong, AND if you're British, Bostonian, Southern U.S., or otherwise "r-less," the word you want is "vomit."

If you are referring to pests, it is varmint.
