What is the best way to rid coops and runs of rats. I have sealed the food and there is nothing left out at night.

I have seen rats around my coops. One of my coops has a metal skirt around it, 3/4s of which is buried underground so nothing can dig under it and with metal skirting on the ground around it also to dissuade digging. There are several vulnerable areas where I have put a removable panel that I can unscrew, toss One Bite poison into the crawl space and then lock it back up again. Seems to work as I occasionally find a dead rat and the crawl space is way too tempting to them.
I read somewhere here on BYC that if you keep food AND water picked up over night it will not attract rats or mice as the vermin are more drawn to a water source than a food source.
Might be worth a try also.
