First thing you have to do is find and close openings. If you don't they will keep coming back. Rat traps and bait them with food work great, peanut butter. Once they are gone scrub out the attic good, they carry diseases bad. Once you do that get peppermint oil and put it all over the attic they are repelled by the smell.

I disagree. For him to go get a cat he's got to provide litter and a box food. I'm sure he doesn't want it urinating and crapping up in his attic. Not all cats are a like and it could take a while. It's not cool to just put a cat up there and leave it. I've seen rats attack cats. I grew up in the country and that's what my pops did and we never had a problem again. My late husband and I moved into our first house and had them in the basement it worked for us. He's got to close up the point of entry and disinfect the entire attic regardless. It's better to try something else before just bring another animal in the house.

Rat poison. I'm not a believer in using poison typically, but with rats I have no issues. A guy I work with swears by some kind of yellow sticky pad? He says they work like a charm.

this will work too
rats LOVE peanut butter.
take a big arse jug and put a walk way up to the top of it so they can fall in, put peanut butter in the jug and put amonia at the bottom of the jug and let them fall in and die

It's that time of year. I have a 2 yr old blue Russian in my home and he has left 3 dead rats at the entrance of my bedroom over the last 2 weeks. Cats aren't for everyone but mine keeps to himself, doesn't eat a whole lot and he loves killing rats and mice. They usually cripple its prey and sadistically torment it for awhile before death.

This may be a myth
I have been pissing in several groundhog this past year or two on a regular basis. Instead of driving them off they seem to be producing more.

put the traps up there without setting them but baited so they get used to them. Set them along the edges of the attic where they travel. Then set the traps and start clearing them out. Get the big pro size traps from Amazon and get a bunch of them.

Don't listen to these people. Move now. They killed half the population of Europe with their bare paws. Get your family out with whatever they can carry and set the building on fire.

It's not rats. Your house is haunted. Reach out to an exorcist.

Maybe it is haunted by the ghosts of rats?
Posted on 4/3/17 at 2:06 pm to tarzana
Trap them and dispose one at a time

You sure that wasn't the fleas carried by the rats?
I will admit it's kind of a moot point, less rats would have solved the problem.
