re: Getting rid of rats from your house

I strongly recommend hiring a professional after meeting with a couple people to find someone who appears honest and to know what they are doing. It will be a difficult process to remove them if they are established. It will involve daily work in the beginning. And preventing any future entry is more difficult that you might think. You have received some good advice in this thread and some poor advice. Poison is very problematic inside a home for several reasons.
