Haven't had rats in the car (that we know of) but we had rats in the trees & bushes right next to the house & playing in the carport & on the roof (finally removed most of the bushes & trees...)
We found the electric rat traps to be the best... they go in the tunnel to hide & snack...GONE! & no poison bait... if you have small kitties or other small critters, make sure there is nothing they would want in the trap & they cannot get in (same with any trap for rats...there is a caution if you have other curious animals that size...if you do have smaller kitties, I would only suggest using a live trap (which we have used....but then you have to deal with the rat...)
We have caught rats with no snacks & with a little peanut butter (but you may get some LFA's nowadays with that...) and both ways worked.
