Nmoore 0 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hi there, we have recently moved into a new home which seems to have a rat problem in the garden. We can’t put poison down because we have a dog ( useless can’t catch anything) but looking on the internet it recommends getting dogs in to get them. Would anyone one be able to recommend anyone on the Bedfordshire area? Or have any advice? many thanks natalie Quote Link to post

Yeah those live catch cage traps,can't hurt your dog and just drop in a bucket when caught,better still, give an unwanted terrier from the pound a second chance.Once you start catching rats with terriers you'll be addicted.

Deker 3,478 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Talk to a Pest Controller. "We can’t put poison down because we have a dog" COMPLETE RUBBISH! I work at farms, many domestics and even a Kennel and Cattery, Poison is commonly used where there are lots of dogs, and I don't go round killing them! Edited May 30, 2018 by Deker Quote Link to post
