Pile of bird seed and a pellet gun. Sometimes going old school is the best. At least you can pretend it is deer season and that rat is a ten pointer.

If he is eating sunflower seeds, get a 5 gallon bucket and fill it up about halfway with water. Pour in some black sunflower seeds so they cover all the water. Lean a 2x4 up against the bucket, and put some of the wet sunflower seeds on the 2x4 . Rat finds them, runs up the 2x4, sees all the seeds in the bucket, jumps in and eventually drowns.
That kills the mess out of chipmunks too. This. I had a slippery rat I couldn't nab with traps around the house once. Little bastage chewed my ignition wires in half on my truck. Set up a bucket just like this and he was in there dead as a rock the next morning.

That's a nice refinement. How long will the Sunflower seeds float ? A couple days. Then you have to swap them out.

When ever they show up in my barn I put a little seen in my ATV spreader. Makes you feel good when hear the critter running 300 RPS in the bottom of the funnel. Found that trick out after leaving some seed In the spreader for a week and the barn reeked. Had a whole family of dead ones

Just One Bite. Tie the dog and kid to a tree in the front yard so the rat has a chance to kill itself.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
