You should have left the dogs in there. Dogs are usually much better than cats when it comes to taking out rodents. Better yet, get a ferret...or a snake. Rats don't even like to hang out where they smell snakes! Rat traps will work, like Partymember said, but they are messy when they finally do nail their quarry, AND if you're not careful, they will get your finger, and a rat trap can easily break a finger! The exterminator will put out poison bait, in some place where your dogs can't get to it, but you can buy the stuff at a hardware or ag supply store and do that yourself. You'll still have to deal with a rotting carcass somewhere that you can't get to it to remove it, though.
