The book provides an exhaustive exploration of the history, traits, and uses of ferrets and rats, particularly focusing on their roles in pest control. It serves as both a handbook for ferret enthusiasts and a study of rat extermination practices based on the author’s extensive personal experiences and observations.  The content of the book is divided into sections addressing both ferrets and rats in detail. Isaacsen discusses the character and behaviors of ferrets, emphasizing their utility in hunting and exterminating rats, as well as offering practical advice on their care and training. He also delves into the characteristics, behaviors, and social structures of rats, detailing their breeding habits, diet, and destructiveness. Furthermore, the author provides methods for rat extermination, including traps, poisons, and employing ferrets and dogs in hunting. Through personal anecdotes and observations, Isaacsen aims to educate readers on the beneficial roles these animals play in controlling vermin populations, while also addressing common misconceptions about them.
