Screw sticky traps, get a real man's rat trap. The old fashioned kind. Put a spoonful of peanut butter on the trigger plate and put several around the perimeter of the room you see them in the most.
If they trip one and don't get caught, change the location of that trap because they won't go back that way again for a while. A good spot to set some is next to or behind the refrigerator. It's usually a narrow space that they have to navigate through to get around.
Like Fr33 said, there's probably more than one or two rats. Keep setting traps until you don't catch any more.
They are getting in somehow, and they leave a scent trail. You need to find the ingress and block it off.

We are out in the country surrounded by hay fields and we have cats. We also for a while shared a personable orange tabby called Clyde.
Accidentally my husband locked Clyde in my husband's two story wood working shop and left to work on our boat for over a week.
When he returned and took some of his tools back to the shop, Clyde came out, happy as he could be. Clyde had gained weight that week and the mouse population was gone.
