Actually, pog, the British are quite big on using might vision devices (and are quite resourceful in what the rig up), and air rifles in their war on rats. Often, they arrange with owners of chicken farms, cattle raisers, etc, to go into barns, near chicken coops, etc at night and shoot the rats, much like in the video. Last year, when I started to get ready to go after these little beasts, I used a small red led flashlight, and one of my air guns, to stop them from going into out coop at night. Air guns are the perfect tools for the job. My favorite is as quiet as can be, accurate and has the power to do the job. And, all shots are totally safe, as I have 2x6 boards at the base of the coop, and thick plywood two feet up, which goes to chicken wire above that. I shot about 12 in a month and a half. Didn't go out every night either, and usually would call it quits after getting one. In my opinion, it's a lot more humane than poison.
