Home Remedies
Seal Up Holes
Rodents usually create holes that they use to get into the house. The house should be inspected for such damages and if found they should be sealed to block out further access into the home.
Set Traps
Traps are perhaps the oldest method of dealing with rats, in setting traps foods with scent that rodents like are used as baits and could be poisoned so that when the rats go after the food they are caught in the trap and may die from poisoning. When poisons are used alongside the traps, care has to be taken to ensure that the poisons are not mistakenly ingested, gloves should be worn and hands should be properly washed after each contact and the poisons should be kept out of reach and separate from edibles.
Natural Predators

Cat litters and owl feathers can be put in some corners of the house to scare them off.
Onions
