Business uses terriers to kill rats.
Rat terriers called Feists are great rat killers.

There's a dog club in NYC where they take their dogs around to hunt and kill rats.

Ryders Alley Trencher-fed Society

quote:
The lineups included two border terriers; a wire-haired dachshund; a Jack Russell terrier/Australian cattle dog mix; a Patterdale terrier, an intense, no-nonsense breed that's uncommon in this country; and a feist, a type of dog developed in the American South to tree squirrels.

OK. You harbor rats. If they come in my territory it's curtains.

Now when we moved in we had a snake in the house. I knew it because I would see its shed skin on the sill plate in the basement every year. But we had not a solitary mouse. Eventually my beloved discovered the snake and caused it to leave. I preferred the snake.
