Maybe these people could clean up their property a bit so the rats don't love it there.

Do the dogs eat the rats or just neutralize.

That's a good dog right there.

I was just going to mention that, if you don’t mind seeing gods creatures doing what they were made for, there are lots of ratting videos on YouTube. Those little doggies are like rat-seeking missiles!

Kind of what I was thinking. Have the terriers go after the residents that brought the rats.

We had a Blue Heeler that was also a vermin killing machine. Some of that dogs happiest times were spent in the hay shed whilst I restacked hay bales or cleaned out the shed in late spring.

My daughter's corgi is death on rats. She would had him clear out an infestation. He'd go in, kill the ra and bring it to her. His pay was nutter butters. There was the time he spotted a mole m my yard. One pounce, the dirt flew and a "crack." Then a had to go find treats to pay him.

I had seen this video somewhere else. It is amazing - worth watching a second time.
