Rats live withing a hundred feet of a food source. First be sure you have no garbage cans they can get into etc. Also, inside, be sure to keep all food in mice/rat proof containers, the freezer, and the refrigerator. (no boxes of food in the pantry etc.) Then use rat traps and close all the holes they may have chewed to get in. Wire mesh brillo pads or any wire made scratch pads are great to stuff in the holes around pipes etc. Then put poison under your house where they will find it but where no pets can get to it. It takes diligence and a clean living area to get rid of them and to keep them gone. They will even eat spilled bird seed beneath feeders etc.
Just one bite is a great killer for mice and rats. Can be purchased on line- at least a while back. Can purchase in a store that sells farm products. Not available n regular hardware stores, due to federal law.
cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil will keep them away.
Bubblegum! Yes. Rats live underground. Find the openings to their living quarters and throw in some chopped up bubblegum. They love it but can't digest it, so it kills them. Do this every day for a month and they will be gone. Works here in Arizona!
