Catching a rat is very similar to catching a mouse. The only difference is that it may take you a little longer to catch a rat because they are smart creatures and will not jump on the first sight of food or water, like mice will. The most popular rat removal method is an electronic rat trap, which you can get for less than $50. Snap and glue traps often do not trap the rat fully. Although they are cheap and can get the job done, many complain that it's too much of a hassle to deal with half-dead rodents.
