  don’t poison rats/mice :(. They didn’t ask to be born a “pest”. Get a humane trap and capture them then take them to somewhere with food/water, a river perhaps

      Don’t listen to this person. Don’t use posion because it’s bad for other wildlife. Get the old reliable snap traps and break those fucker’s necks.

      they’re returning because it’s easier to find food in your house than in the wild. I’d suggest keeping your bin empty, sealing off bags of food, and just generally not allowing them to eat in your place. If you remove their source of food/water, they most likely won’t come back

      You need to take them a fair distance away. The recommendations I've seen are to take them at least 3 kilometers (~2 miles) away.

    What about in places rats are invasive?

    Do not relocate them, it is sadly less humane. There are already other animals living in these areas who are barely surviving as-is, and introducing new ones potentially has the effect of killing both natives and those introduced, through competition for resources and damage to established habitat. Many will succumb to disease or environmental hazards they are not acclimated to, dying a slow wretched death.

    Adopt a shelter cat and buy quick-kill snap traps if they are causing damage or contaminating living spaces. If they are someplace where they don’t cause major damage, you could consider en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ContraPest to depopulate them over a long period.
