Rat poison...and... what I heard(but never tried is) that if you put black peppercorns in areas where rats or mice are seen, they will never go to that area again!! Try it if you want to!How can I get the rats out of my house?
Do not give food and shelter to these most unwanted guests!





* The time to act is before the signs (droppings) of a rat or mouse.


* Stack fire wood 18 inches off the ground and away from all buildings.


* Birdhouses and seed should be on poles and in trays rats can't get.


* Keep garbage can lids closed tightly.


* Plant bushes so they will stay at least 3 feet from your house.


* Keep yards and alleys clean. Take junk to the dump!


* If you feed them, they will stay. Pick up fruit and vegetables in your yard.


* Do not compost any animal products (fish, meat, chicken, cheese, butter). Keep lids tight.


* Use only rodent resistant composters.


* In basements keep any food in closed containers that rats can't chew through.


* Cover all openings to your house. Rats can get into very small places.


* Do not leave your pet food outside. If your pet doesn't eat it, the rats will.


* Roof rats get into your house from tree branches that hang over the roof. Keep trees cut back and cover any openings in the eves.





Keep rats out of your sewer pipes!





Rats live in sewers and can follow the food in pipes up to your toilet.





* Keep your kitchen sink rinsed clean and use garbage disposals as little as possible.


o Rinse out your kitchen sink once or twice a month.


o Use 1 cup of bleach (an alternative to using bleach, 1 cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of vinegar) and rinse with boiling water.


* Never throw grease down the drain.


* Keep your toilet lid down when not in use.


* If you find a rat in your toilet, flush it! (hint: squirt a little dishwashing liquid under the lid into the bowl, wait a couple of minutes then flush)





To kill a rat, use a rat trap!





The best trap is the large, simple, cheap wooden ';snap trap.'; They are sold in hardware stores.





To use the trap:





* BAIT IT with pieces of apple, potato, raw bacon or with peanut butter spread on a cotton ball. Make sure the bait is attached to trap.


* ATTACH IT firmly to the ground or solid place to keep the rat from dragging the trap away.


* PLACE THE TRAP near where you have found the droppings. Make sure the trap is safe from people, children, pets or animals who could get hurt from it.

You can try a Rat trap.Or those Rat poisons.If you have kids in the house then just get a cat.1-3 Would be best.Seeing as one cat can kill more then 15% of all the rats in your has per night.
what worked for me.....poop in every corner of your house and they will not like it and leave. smells nice.
