Regarding how to get rid of rats, the first line of defence is to keep them out, sounds simple enough but in practice it can be tricky:
1: Thoroughly check the exterior of your property for rodent access points. So you think it looks OK ?
LOOK Again ! Mice can access your property through a gap the width of an inch and the diameter of a standard pen a Rat can enlarge any gap by gnawing. Pay particular attention to air vents, under doors and around pipes entering your home any gaps need to be filled with cement or crushed chicken wire and expanding foam .Doors will need brush strip fitted. Air vents with large vent holes will need wire mesh fitted to deny rodent access.
