don't know how you could expect to control them outside:
Female rat litters can range from five to eight babies and they can give birth up to six times a year. Roof rats generally prefer vegetables, fruits and grain.
do you have bird feeders? or citrus trees? I had one coming to a low bird feeder...I stopped putting food in it and it hasn't come back.
