When I lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands, one of the native-born islanders said that if a rat ate a mixture of corn meal and hydraulic cement, the cement would harden in the gut, causing the rat to die. If that is true, I suspect it would die of dehydration. As to where the rat would be when it died - that could be problematic.

If you are related to the rat, you are pretty much out of luck!

I had a large infestation of rats that dared to even fight on my dining room floor for dog food. The mixture of cornmeal and cement sort of worked but one rat rolled around in agony for hours before died. The rat solution never remedied until I got cats. I have indoor cats and feral cats living outside. No more rats.

I don't know anything about rats, but I had a mice problem. I put Irish Spring soap bars all over and it really worked. No mice.

Try peanut butter in the live trap.

I set a large trap with peanut butter sprinkled with bird seed. Catch one through whole thing out. I quit feeding old bread to birds in back yard. Seemed to quit having rats come to garage🧐
