What is a rat dog?
A rat dog is a specially trained dog used to locate and catch rats. The dogs can also find entrance holes, nesting sites and other important information about where they come from and how they move.
Unlike traditional methods of control such as traps and poisons, the dogs catch the rats directly and you don’t have to risk the rats dying in the walls, ceiling or floor. The smell of a dead rat is not pleasant and can linger for a number of weeks. A well-trained rat dog works quickly, finding the rats where they hide and eliminating the problem immediately.
How are rat dogs used to hunt rats?
Rat dogs have been used in Europe for centuries to control rats. The dogs’ sense of smell and speed make them very effective, both indoors and outdoors. A well-trained rat dog is the best tool in the fight against rats.
Why rat dogs instead of poison?
- Rats can be very skeptical about eating anything that deviates from their usual diet.
- As long as there is access to other food, poison may be completely ineffective or take a very long time to take effect
- Poison causes suffering to the rat and it can take several days before it finally dies.
- The risk of the rat dying in walls, ceilings or floors is high, which means a corpse smell and vomit flies that can last for many weeks
- Rats can carry the poison and store it without eating it
- Rats dying from poison can pose a danger to pets and predators
- Poison can be ingested by other animals
- You save time and money on rat control

Sustainable rat control - addressing cause and symptoms
Using a rat dog to find and catch rats is only part of the control measures we carry out. The most important work is to locate the root cause of the problem: how do the rats get in, and why have they settled there?
Rats in the house or rats in the walls are often just the symptoms. To really solve the problem, you need to take action that goes to the root. We focus on long-term solutions that both prevent recurrence and reduce costs over time.
We help our customers understand, track and fix what’s really causing the attacks.
