In case the Mongrol Hoard is busy, this is the guy we used. Lots of hobbyists in the Bay Area. I don’t have his number but maybe you can find him or someone else.

Nice! This outfit looks professional! There are also lots of hobbyists, too. Keep me posted, curious whether it works in your garden.

… and it’s free. The owners just love helping out. These are dogs that are trained to hunt rats. They don’t necessarily kill them, either. Some will bring live rats to you. V interesting community that I’d never heard of before I had a rat problem.

I found out about it from a friend who saw it on a FB group. The dog found a few rats in our garden! Wild but effective.

… or maybe it’s the forcing function we’ve all needed to *finally* get off IG! Joking. Sort of.

In the Bay Area, there are folks with dogs that can find rats. They’ll come to your house and let their dog take care of them. Not joking! Cool community. Did it myself in 2021.
