You can use several home remedies to try and get rid of rats in your house, such as using natural rodent repellents like peppermint oil or cayenne pepper. You could also try glueboards or snap traps, but you should take care when setting them up to avoid accidentally capturing a pet. One effective option is to combine a few different poison methods including sticky trap/glueboards and bait stations, which can be used safely around pets.

A good approach for ridding your house of rodents without endangering your pets is to use rat and mouse bait. These types of baits typically contain a food source attractive to rodents such as chocolate or peanut butter, combined with a poison such as brodifacoum or bromadiolone. Place these baits in areas where you know the rats frequent, like in dark corners and next to walls. To keep yourself and your pets safe, make sure that you carefully read the instructions provided with the bait before use.
