Try poison, there are kinds sold now, so they won't smell when they die.

Ah, rats. Rats have been around for tens of thousands of years, and they are not going anywhere - except where there is food, water and warmth.
Rats are very tenacious; they can live on very little food and in horrible conditions, and they breed so fast that it is almost impossible to get rid of them in one apartment - you need to exterminate the whole building, which is very difficult and expensive.
To prevent rats from calling your home home, make sure that there are no sources of water (this includes condensation on pipes, ie under your sinks), and block all holes no matter how tiny with steel wool. You will want to keep all your food in glass or metal containers - or in the refrigerator or freezer. Rats can gnaw through plastic in no time at all.
You can use a poison called Warfarin, which causes the rats to die a very unpleasant death... but don't use it if you have pets or children that might mistakenly eat it. It is available at any hardware store.
Me, I have a pet rat whom I am very fond of but I do know that "wild" rats are a pain in the neck and can be dangerous. Good luck with the extermination.

Get a sparkling job! tell your boss/bldg proprietor about the placement and record it. call the well-being dept. This should not be your problem. you want an exterminator who can take care the rats and allow you to recognize approaches to cover up the holes or although in an attempt to't get decrease back in. undesirable information: a authorities progression in a city the position I stay had a rat problem. massive rats in the basement workplaces. They ultimately purely left the progression for the rats (i'm intense!) because they couldn't eliminate them. The very last straw change into at the same time as a worker opened her table to take her handbag out and change into attacked through a rat jumping out of the drawer. The rats owned that progression. city gave it up.

I used to own pet rats and when they die they stink. Poison is a horrible idea because when they consume the poison they will most likely run back into their hole and die there. That will stink really bad in your walls and you will have to rip through to remove them. They make high-pitched noise devices that humans can not hear but rats eventually learn to live with and ignore the noise. You must keep all your food locked tight so that they will not live off your pantry. Be certain to block off all holes that they could enter into the building. Add traps using peanut butter because the smell is stronger than cheese and harder for them to make off with. I have seen people use large water filled tubs with a thin rope/string across the top with food dangling above. The rat climbs out to the middle of the tub reaching for the food, loses balance and falls into the tub to drown. I am unsure how to properly build one but they get the job done.

Have you tried those ultrasonic rodent repelant devices? It's the rodent version of a loud rock concert blasting in their ears 24/7. If all else fails, call an exterminator, who will have a special tool to get under the floor to gas those varmints.
