(it's relatively humane, zaps them instantly, they don't have time to get out a squeak) and bait it with peanut butter. Go back in a week to find out if it's been tripped. Empty the rat and call a pest control service back to close up the holes.

You'd be surprised at how little a rat needs to get entry into your house. Mice need even less than that, they can squash themselves practically flat.
