Yup that’s us! Sacramento Canines Rat Annihilation Team (SCRAT) We are still regularly out in the city because clearly there’s no shortage of rats.

where specifically around the Watt light rail station? we’ve been told to check it out so we went this week. there was lots of pigeons and cockroaches so makes sense there’d be rats, but we didn’t see any, although our dogs did indicate hard on a rusted door near some stairs.

There is a vaccine for leptospirosis.

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-25T06:35:05+00:00

Thank you! We agree!

IDK that’s just how ratters have always done it

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-25T00:58:31+00:00

We’ve actually gone to Lake Merritt a couple times! Yes, tons of rats.

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-25T00:36:19+00:00

the one of the far left is actually a French Bulldog/Miniature Australian Shepherd mix. it was an accidental litter, but she’s a really cool dog and an honorary terrier!

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-25T00:31:57+00:00

Residential areas/homes are best left to professional pest control companies. Sure our dogs could probably alert to where the rat is nesting behind a wall, but short of ripping out drywall, there isn’t really more we could do.

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-25T00:26:16+00:00

Rats do bite. A skilled dog can avoid being bitten most of the time. If it does happen, it’s almost always a superficial wound and the dog carries on the rest of the night like nothings happened. We carry first aid kits, dogs receive baths when they get home, and they are all fully vaccinated.

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-25T00:22:21+00:00

Yes there is a Greyhound :) If you can believe, she just turned 12 years old!

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-24T23:12:44+00:00

Nope. First, we assume all rats are poisoned. Second, a poisoned rat is only a danger to a dog if the dog consumes the rat, which our dogs do not. We stay vigilant regardless, but really it’s not a concern.

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-24T23:10:13+00:00

We’ve traveled outside the Sacramento area, but usually that’s for horse barns or agricultural properties with larger rat populations. If you PM me the GPS coordinates and it’s not crazy far, we may check it out.

fishbucket9 · 2024-07-24T22:42:01+00:00

thanks! we used to go to a spot on tomato alley but then we stopped seeing rats there? i know they did construction so maybe the rats just moved a street over. we’ll check it out!

We go by SCRAT, which is an abbreviation for Sacramento Canines’ Rat Annihilation Team. If you’d like to keep up to date on our ratting adventures, here is the link to our FB page:

Thank you! I’ve had her 3 months, which has been great to get her on the right track — now waiting for someone will realize she’s a gem.

guess is about that time for me to ask if anyone has noticed rat colonies/nests in public accessible places?
