First, those electronic repellents do not work more then a few hours! They are certainly a waist of time and money, do some research before you purchase these!
The rats will die where they stand when poisoned, they do not go outside to die. I use onebite II rat bars and they are very effective. But they can kill other animals that eat the dead rats.
You may be able to shoot them with 22 rat shoot, a BB would be hard to hit and kill them.
I find simply things like leaving a light on (in the basement/wherever) helps. they dont like light. Also get rid of food sources. I want to try a strobe light, but cant find one.
If they are taking your peanut butter, then mix in baking soda, but that will also smell up the place for a while,,,, the soda causes gas and they cannot pass it, so the 'splode,,,,
Rat terriers, and some training to hunt and kill rats (does not take a lot this is natural to them) goes a long way. IMHO most cats are lazy (not all cats)
Good luck!
