K9 Assisted
Pest Control
Introducing The Rat Pack — our team of specialist Lakeland Terriers trained to track, locate, and help remove rodents with extraordinary precision. They find what traps and cameras miss: hidden entry points, nesting sites, and active runs inside walls and under floors.
Meet The Rat Pack
Lakeland Terriers have been used for centuries to hunt and track rodents — it's in their DNA. Our three terriers have been trained to work alongside our pest control technicians, providing a level of detection accuracy that no technology can match.
A dog's nose is up to 100,000 times more sensitive than a human's. They can detect the scent of a single rat through a concrete floor, locate active runs inside cavity walls, and identify nesting sites hidden deep within loft insulation.
This means less disruption to your property, more targeted treatment, and a far higher success rate — especially for persistent or hard-to-locate infestations.

Traditional pest control methods rely on visual inspection and trap placement. K9 detection goes further — finding what you can't see, hear, or smell.
Precision Scent Detection
Our trained terriers can detect rodent activity through walls, floors, and dense vegetation — locating infestations that cameras and traps simply cannot find.
Entry Point Location
The dogs identify exactly where rodents are entering your property, enabling targeted proofing work that stops re-infestation at the source.
Nesting Site Identification
By pinpointing active nesting sites, we can remove entire colonies rather than just individual rodents — giving you a complete, lasting solution.
Fast & Non-Invasive
No need for extensive exploratory work. The dogs survey a property quickly and accurately, reducing disruption to your home, business, or farm.
Reduces Chemical Use
Precise location means targeted treatment — less rodenticide required, safer for your family, pets, and the environment. Fully aligned with Think Wildlife guidelines.
Ideal for Hard-to-Reach Areas
Loft spaces, cavity walls, under-floor voids, barns, and dense shrubbery — no area is too difficult for our K9 team to survey.
How It Works
From first call to full resolution — here's what to expect from a K9 assisted pest control visit.
Initial Assessment
We visit your property and discuss the signs of rodent activity you've noticed. Our technician assesses the site before deploying the K9 team.
K9 Survey
Our trained terriers systematically survey the property, alerting on areas of active rodent scent. Every alert is logged and mapped by our technician.
Detailed Report
You receive a full written report identifying active areas, entry points, nesting sites, and recommended treatment or proofing works.
Treatment & Proofing
Based on the survey findings, we carry out targeted pest control treatment and pest proofing — stopping the problem at its source.
Suitable For All Property Types
Domestic Homes
Persistent rat or mouse problems where the entry point can't be found. Ideal for older properties with cavity walls and suspended floors.
Commercial Premises
Restaurants, warehouses, offices, and retail units where discreet, non-invasive surveying is essential.
Farms & Agricultural Land
Large areas of land, barns, and outbuildings where rodent populations are difficult to map with traditional methods.
Food Production Facilities
High-hygiene environments where precision is critical. K9 surveys reduce the need for widespread bait placement.
Schools & Care Homes
Sensitive environments where minimising chemical use is a priority. K9 detection enables highly targeted treatment.
