Uuuuugh I found a nest of rats in my duck house!!!

I scared away nearly a dozen rats out of my duck house and now I'm wondering how to keep them out. Anyone have any ideas? It really ticks me off since I don't feed my ducks in there and the rats can't get into the feed.

Do you have any idea how they got in? do you have any opening beside the door to go in and out? hardware cloth works really well for openings where rats or mice or other preds would be able to get inside. Other than using poison which I wouldn't recommend maybe get a barn cat. or 2.
