Put any food that can be easily gnawed open by rats (plastic bags with pasta, rice, etc) into proper air-tight containers. If you've got rats inside your house, it's because there's food more easily available than outside your house - which in this country is quite an effort. You slob.

Joking aside, had small rats at Palace de la Spigz once upon a time; it really was low hanging fruit inside a lower kitchen cupboard that caught their senses. A couple of glue traps later for the repeat offenders, a damn good scrub of the whole back door to cupboard (they kindly left a 'trail') with Dettol & putting that food in an air-tight container instead of the market plastic bag, not a scamper since. Luckily I have Khmer neighbours, so my house must look like the Sahara Desert for a rat versus the veritable buffet left out every night by the houses either side - if the cats & dogs don't get there first.
