We have this rat that eats up food from the cats' bowl when we are not around.
There is a poison - Ratol - that is meant to kill them. But this one relishes the banana that has the Polson placed in it We have successfully gotten rid of mice using this method earlier but it has no effect on this rat
I am helpless.

Wow, it must be a huge rat for the poison to have not killed it.

The maid told me it is a small one (lol) Unless the poison has lost its power

@allknowing Strange that it still lives.

I do not know the solution sorry. Is there anyone there that could be called an exterminator?

There is no such thing here sadly. I will change the poison brand

@allknowing Yes perhaps a different one and more of it.I would hope the kitties wouldn't get at it?

It sounds like you're dealing with a rather resilient and cunning rat! Rats are known for their adaptability and ability to avoid various traps and poisons.
Here are a few suggestions you might consider:
1. Change the Bait
2. Seal Entry Points
3. Seek Professional Help

I will attempt the first two but seeking professional help is far fetched where I live. Thank you.

I think we have just one rate and it is still alive.

The poison may have expired. When I was a kid, we had a cat. She was really good at chasing rats and keeping them away. You may also use mouse traps.

We have 3 thoroughly spoilt cats (lol) You may be right. The poison is old.
