Yes, traps work. We used a couple successfully in our yard as well.

The old fashioned rat traps work. Even if it might seem disgusting to have
to clear away a dead rat, it avoids the important concern that Glorian
raises. A couple of years ago, before we got a steel, enclosed composter,
we noticed a hole gnawed in our plastic one. I put a trap in there and
caught a rat. It was no big deal. I wonder whether pest control people give
you the choice of poison or traps?

Thank you, Sam, for calling pest control.
Please note that it is important not to use poison to kill the rats.
Birds, like owls or hawks, will eat the weakened rat, and then die from the
poison. There was just a case the Globe reported about a Great Horned owl
with babies in the nest. The owl was killed by poisoned rats.
