There was a time when dogs were specifically used to kill rats. Jack Russell terriers are particularly adept at it.

Rat terriers are the best for barn rats. The problem with unknown rats is whether they’ve ingested poison. You have to train terriers to not eat them just kill them cleanly so the dogs are not poisoned.
Heard the dogs can quickly kill a hundred vermin
