We actually train dogs to catch mice, because cats are, as concluded in the study, dicks that will only do what they please.

There was a documentary about rats on Netflix I think and there was a segment about rat hunting terriers. There was a pack of them on a farm and they were just ripping those rats apart. Completely vicious like fighting over rats.

And then we have mink trained to exterminate rats together with dogs. That might be the most entertaining way of rat extermination to watch.
