Make sure all the poop is cleaned up.... it's like steak to rats. I would use the larger mouse traps, (bacon and peanut butter on the trap) just make sure they are hidden from your dog. Also look around your house to see if there are any rat burrows,
If they are entering your house, find out where...under, through vents, holes under the roof, etc. Stuff metal pot scrubbers into any small holes and cover vents with wire screening. Outside, you can spray with Mt Lion urine or something similar to deter them from hanging out. Gardeners would know.
Yes, dog poop is a major attractant. Once it warms up, I notice an increase in snakes looking for rats too.
Call an exterminator. Sticky tape works for mice but rats, ooh so big. They can die in attic and that is a mess. Traps work but rats can be prolific.
