Insulating foam sealant works really well with rats/mice because they can't chew through it.

After Hurricane Wilma in 2005 this restaurant I was working at had a rat problem, so I filled the holes in the walls where the rats had been coming in with insulating foam sealant.

It smelled like shit for a month or so after the rats died inside the walls, but they never made it out again...

What did you fill the holes with?

I had a rat problem no later than last year in one of my buildings.
A sewer pipe was cracked and those bastards kept coming out because they felt the heat (it was late winter early spring).

My exterminator set up big rat traps with some cheese smelling poison and we got them all until the pipe was replaced.
Holy fuck the monsters that live in the sewers.
Those rats were big and fugly. Almost as big as a little cat. You wouldn't want your cat to be stuck with that thing. It's not a mouse it's a lot bigger and It could win over your cat unless your cat is some mean feral feline from hell (that you probably wouldn't want around your house it'd kill you too)
Fuck rats.

As long as your cat isn't bitch-made it shouldn't have a problem.

I was living in an apartment ten years ago and I saw a rat run into my closet. It was hiding behind an old air conditioner so I grabbed a hockey stick thinking that I could scare it out and snap shot the rat out through the patio door that lead onto the balcony. I was rattling the air conditioner with the stick and the rat ran out and over my bare foot, I screamed like a woman in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. To this day if I concentrate I can feel his cold, soft, pink rat feet on my foot.

Cats are rodent killing machines. I think even a wussy cat could crush the biggest of rats. My cat is quite the coward but he killed an adult pigeon as soon as we let him out of the house as a kitten.

I've seen them chew through it before. Make sure you get the Pestblock version, which is harder to chew through. You can also stuff some steel wool in the gap before using the foam. Here's the little prick that chewed through our regular foam.

That must have been good for business.
