Best way to get rid of rats is don't feed them. If you must keep your trash under there it needs to be in a sealed container. I had a bad rat problem in my back yard shed years ago. I had outdoor dogs and was keeping the dog food in that shed. The dog food bag was sitting out where the rats could get to it. I put out D-Con which killed off all the rats and started storing the dog food inside a steel garbage can. Problem solved.
