Rodent Management
Rodent Management
Looking for a greener solution to your rodent problem? Tried rodenticides or traditional snap traps with little to no success?
We offer a natural, effective alternative: canine rodent control.
Dogs have been used to manage rodent populations for hundreds of years. Their hunting history is well documented, especially during the Victorian era, when professional rat catchers and their dogs were commonly employed.
Using terriers to dispatch rodents offers a targeted, poison-free approach with no risk of secondary poisoning to farm animals, wildlife, pets, or children. It is a green alternative for farms, backyard chicken coops, corporate properties, municipal trash areas, and other rodent-prone sites.
Unlike poison, canine rodent control provides immediate results โ and a visible count of rodents removed.
Why Dogs Instead of Rodenticides?
Rodenticides can create several problems. Anticoagulant poisons may take 3โ5 days to kill a rodent, while non-anticoagulants may work faster but still carry serious risks.
Once poisoned, rodents can die anywhere โ inside walls, under floors, or in inaccessible areas. This can create strong odors and may require costly removal and repairs. Rodenticides also offer no reliable head count, making it difficult to know how effective the treatment truly was.
Canine rodent control is direct, measurable, and environmentally responsible.
Integrated Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is an environmentally conscious approach to controlling pest problems. It focuses not only on removing rodents, but also on changing the conditions that attract them.
Rodents need three things to survive:
- Food.
- Water
- Shelter
Removing even one of these elements can make your property less attractive to rodents.
Before we bring dogs onto your property, we provide a free site visit. During this visit, we will evaluate the conditions contributing to rodent activity and discuss an environmental management plan for your site.
This plan may include recommendations for reducing food sources, limiting shelter, improving sanitation, and making the surrounding environment less inviting to rodents.
