For effective rat trapping and sealing, start by observing droppings and runways to identify high-traffic areas. Use snap traps baited with peanut butter, placing them perpendicular to walls. Once caught, immediately seal all cracks and holes with steel wool and caulk—rats can squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter-inch. Don't forget to check attic vents and pipe entries. This two-step approach stops new rats from moving in after removal.
