I don't think rat traps will be a very effective counter-measure, too many rats - they'll breed faster than you can catch them. For every rat you see there's 20 you don't and at this moment there's not many souls who are more than 20 feet from a rat. Houses may be fairly rat-proof but that's no comfort for a remote(ish) BOL which could be camping style for some.
