Where are the rats coming from?

Outside, I presume

Oh, I see.  Well I’m not an expert on rats, but it looks like the most common way they enter houses is when someone breaks a window or door and leaves it open.  But they also just need a small hole to get through.  If there are lots of rats already in your neighborhood or in your building, then they can also get in through any holes, however small, just because they want to move around.  Rats can also get in if you leave food out or trash in the trash can too long, because this attracts them.

I think they're mostly just in my attic
