About 5 years after moving into our current house we had an invasion Norway (brown) rats. These are the wild cousins for "fancy "rats that are kept as pets and are huge. The ones in our house were about a foot long head to rear hunches and about 20 inches head to tip of tail.
The only way we got rid of them was by using kill traps. They pretty much just laughed and ate the bait out of anything else. Basically we resulted to what @thomasmryan mentioned, the snap type traps that will break your hand if you accidentally set it off. Even with that, we often would find the traps missing, and later find, by smell, where they had drug it off to die. We also had to find where they were getting in. There were two places. I gap of about a half inch between the foundation and cantilevered portion of the kitchen floor, and an area of our porch where the builder failed to cap between a brick wall and the internal wall. We also had to dispose of a couple of nests in a suspended ceiling in our basement that had babies in it.

Now squirrels are a different animal. Totally dirty and even carry the plague. A guy I grew up with that worked for county vector control would tell me they aren't worried about the rats. It is the squirrels, and they are fuzzy so idiots feed them. |

Evidently in Chicago all it takes to mostly keep them away is a few cats per block. And generally clean neighbors.
The why and the how are the keys.

some days when i get home from work, the squirrels are having a gangbang in my front yard. maybe ten or so at times.
my yard is moss a couple inches thick and it's quite the stash of acorns. in the fall, if i rake them into a pile, the bears crap everywhere from gorging on the motherload. just have to watchout pulling the motorcycle over to the front door. |

I suppose "dragged" would be more proper but "drug" is an acceptable past tense of "drag" in informal speech in several US dialects.

Good afternoon! Rats give pleasure to the owners of the home only when they are decorative. However, it often happens that wild rodents become uninvited guests in the house. And if this happens, you will have to make a lot of effort to drive these impudent rodents out of residential and household premises. Fortunately, there are many ways to deal with rats. I also had such problems, but the difference was that I had multiple mice nests in all my garage. I used a lot of methods to kill them but it didn't work. In the end, I decided to call professionals masterspestcontrolsydney that will help me o deal with this problem.

I must be missing something but I don't see how being dragged for any distance would help me learn something unless it's teaches me what it's like to wear women's clothes.
