The brown rat is the most common species of wild rats in Sweden.
Rat control with ferrets
Rat control using ferrets and dogs is an effective method for removing large numbers of rats in a short time in flower beds, lawns or other green areas where rats have settled in the ground. The ferrets are dropped into the holes, which then chase the rats out to the dogs, which then catch and kill the rats in a few seconds.
This method is relatively new in Sweden but ferrets have been used extensively in rabbit hunting, especially on Gotland.
This is a very natural method where we use the natural hunting skills of ferrets and dogs to control pests.
The ferret is a predator and occurs in the wild in southern Sweden, north to Mälardalen and in southern Värmland.
Rat dogs - a tried and tested method
Hunting rats with the help of dogs is a method that has been used in Europe for centuries. Dogs’ amazing sense of smell and agility make them invaluable tools in the control of rats both indoors and outdoors.
Catching rats in different types of traps can be incredibly difficult or take a very long time, time that we can save our customers with the help of our dogs.
Rats can cause enormous damage both indoors and outdoors. In addition to causing damage, rats can also carry a number of different diseases that are spread mainly through their urine and feces. If you are a dog owner and live in an area where there are a lot of rats, we recommend that you vaccinate your dog against Leptospirosis.
