Get a glue trap put peanut butter or dried coconut, or a dried piece of shrimp in the middle of it, as soon as the rat/mouse is stuck on the glue take it out side & dispose of it OR.. pour cooking oil on the glue and the rat/mouse will be able to loosen out of the glue.
I have a mouse problem periodically. Use a sliver of pecan under the "hook" line and put a good smear of peanut butter on top. It attracts them quickly. I would think a larger sized rat trap with more bait would probably work. The smell of peanut butter really attracts them and they like the pecans, too.
Hope it's not the Man in your life? Rat Bate? a Large Cat? The Local Rat Catcher?
I have a couple no kill traps that I bait with dollar store peanut butter. Works great! Then I take them down the road and release them.
where is the rat

I get the TomKat rat killer in the little bags, they eat the bag and die.

Use a bowl of Antifreeze.
Trap it with a rat trap, shoot it with a 22, I've even bopped it in the head with a shovel, and lastly Tom Kat rat poison.
