Rodents can pose serious problems in both homes and businesses, causing damage, spreading disease, and risking closures or loss of revenue. Traditional detection methods often rely on signs that appear late in an infestation — by then, the problem may already be extensive.
JG Pest Control’s canine detection service provides a rapid, non-invasive and highly accurate method of identifying live rodent activity. Our professionally trained detection dogs can locate infestations faster than conventional techniques, helping you take control early, minimise disruption, and protect your premises.
Why Use Canine Detection?
There are many advantages to using detection dogs for identifying rodent activity:
- Minimises Disruption – Fast, discreet inspections that avoid downtime or disturbance in sensitive areas.
- Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly – A chemical-free alternative that’s safe for people, pets, and the environment.
- Rapid Results – Dogs detect scent trails instantly, allowing swift action
- Supports Targeted Proofing – Helps identify rodent access points before infestations escalate, with far greater accuracy than human inspection alone.
- Versatile Across Environments – Suitable for homes, retail, hospitality, food sites, offices, and warehouses
Canine detection is highly adaptable:
Where it’s effective:
- Discreet detection to protect reputations in hospitality settings.
- Fast sweeps for large spaces like warehouses and factories.
- Minimal disruption in commercial spaces such as shops and offices.
- Early detection in homes, new builds, and residential sites.
Canine Rat Dispatch Service
Our canine rat dispatch service involves the use of specially trained dogs that can quickly and efficiently locate and dispatch rats. This method is especially beneficial in areas where the use of poisons or traps is undesirable, such as food production facilities, farms, or residential areas with children and pets.
It’s important to note that while the use of dogs for rat control is legal, using dogs to hunt mice is not permitted under current UK legislation. Therefore, our canine dispatch services are strictly limited to rat infestations.
All our canine dispatch operations are conducted in accordance with the highest standards of animal welfare and legal compliance. To speak to our team about Canine dispatch or detection call us now on 0203 3762 517 .

Signs of Rodent Activity
Rodents are often difficult to detect directly, but they leave behind a number of tell-tale signs. These can include droppings found near skirting boards, cupboards, or stock rooms; gnaw marks on packaging, wiring, or stored food; and shredded materials used for nesting.
You may also hear scratching sounds or notice movement after dark, as well as detect a strong, ammonia-like smell caused by urine, particularly in confined spaces.
Detection dogs are specially trained to identify even subtle scent trails left by rodents, offering a faster and more reliable method of locating activity than traditional visual inspections or traps.
