A friend of mine lives near a canal and gets rats in his garden from time to time. When my friend hangs food in his trees for the cute and very pleasing little birdies said rodents snaffle all of it.So, he bought a squirrel trap and when he sees evidence of these usurping  rodents he baits the trap (apparently it doesn't matter with what as long as it's smothered in peanut butter) and when ratty gets trapped 9 success rate about 90% apparently) he puts one in the back of its skull with an pellet from an old air rifle he found in his shed. He did first try just giving the rat a good talking to and letting it go, but it insisted on coming back...
