Rats
Of the rodent variety.

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.

OK. You harbor rats. If they come in my territory it's curtains. I don't like it, but I don't like killing mice either. It's just going to happen.

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.
