What did grandma say? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You or “the experts” can find possible entryways into your house now. Rats will be looking for them as the weather cools and nesting material becomes needed for the winter. Small but heavy mesh works well. Also, rats will not chew or scratch through steel wool. My first house was a 1905 built home with many additions not always well planned. There were a number of avenues for marauding rats and we became successful at keeping them on the outside.
