most birds won't move in the dark so they are sitting ducks for predators. Maybe if you had a floodlight they could see their way to come down. I didn't know bantams could fly that high. Are they gamebirds? If the rats run from the light, is it possible to shine a flood light up at the tree? That might scare them off from the chickens. If they do come down you'll have to have them in a pen with a top on it or they will continue to roost in the tree. They say if you clip one wing it makes them unbalanced enough so they can't fly well but, that also makes them more vulnerable to predators.

Yeah, there game hens, old english game bantams!!
