Mostly making it impossible for them to get in. If you block off entry points, no rats.
Also, rats will only stay if there is a nice food supply. Remove any food and they will leave on their own.
There are humane traps and kill traps. Get both at hardware stores. Glue strips are gruesome but effective, they get stuck in the glue and can't move. If you don't find them and take them off the strip, they starve to death. You can hear them crying. So gross
Note: the "ultra sonic" devises don't work. I saw them on the news and the pet rats slept right through the demonstration.

Oh get some chickens, they love eating rats!! Other than that- I think the rat poison is your best bet. Cats soon tire of the rats if there are too many.

Feed your cat human beings nutrition like lunch meat - fairly bologna and ham . additionally canned salmon and tuna will artwork. and don't ignore fish (no bones).

This challenge would be short lived and lower back to commonplace quickly - substitue materials of puppy meals would be available.

Keep your shed and garage clean and organized. do not put garbage cans in there. Rats are attracted to food. Remove the food and the clutter and they will leave.
