Wild rodents can cause home damage, contaminate food, and cause illness in people and pets. Rodent infestations are more likely to occur when events, such as flooding, displace them. To avoid rodent infestation, remove potential rodent food and water sources and store food for people and pets in sealed containers. Clear away debris and other material that rodents can hide in. Safely clean up rodent droppings, urine and nesting areas, always wearing gloves and spraying material with disinfectant until thoroughly soaked before attempting to remove or clean.

Check the repairs you've done, to make sure no new areas have been chewed open.
They prefer to live in high places, but may live in a variety of environments.
Their burrowing habitats include soil along building foundations, under woodpiles and other piles of debris.
Lethal control often combines the use of rodenticides with non-toxic control measures such as snap traps or glue boards.
Rub marks - rats get coated with dirt and they like to rub against the walls to find their way around a room’s perimeter, since they can't see so well.
Grease marks (from the oil and dirt of rats) often appear along walls next to runways.
For example, only zinc phosphide can be applied on the ground to control rats in sugarcane or macadamia orchards, and the second-generation anticoagulants, cholecalciferol and bromethalin, can be used only in and around buildings, not around crops or away from buildings even in non crop situations.

While you will not reasonably be able to compensate for every possible rodent entry, you can greatly reduce the ease of entry for rodents (and thereby, reduce the population size) by taking the following measures:
Droppings - you might find these in places like cupboards, cabinets and other areas around the home where rats like to hide
Using traps and other mechanical means to remove rats.
They are constantly exploring surroundings and notice changes and are suspicious by nature.
Wire-mesh, live traps (Tomahawk®, Havahart®) are available for trapping rats.
You might find holes in walls and wood.
Nests inside and under buildings, or in piles of rubbish or wood.
Avoid using poison and glue traps, as these are inhumane and cause more problems than they solve.
