Which brings me to: call a professional. If you give them the rodent poison they sell in the stores they will go to great lengths to get to liquids - it dehydrates them to death - and/or they will die in your house.

These people next to me are big slobs from my backyard I can see in to their kitchen and the dishes are piled high in the sink.But I do understand what you are saying. I spoke to my mom who I bought the condo from. They had a problem here with rats, then one of the condos owners started feeding the stray cats. They had lots and lots of cats here but no more rats. Then they had the cats removed because they were annoying to some I guess.That was before I had moved here, I guess the rats figured its safe now. Im going to have a pro come we pay them a monthly retainer as part of the condo assoc. Everything I read online was to avoid poisons at all measures use traps. With poisons you can wind up with dead rats in walls or if the dogs finds the poisoned rat and eats it. You could have a dead dog.
