I cannot confirm that this definitely works - but it seems to have done the trick for us. We had (what I presume was) a rat in a roof void above one of the guest bedrooms. It could be heard scurrying around and scratching. I read that they do not like peppermint, presumably because they have such a fine sense of smell. So we removed a plank from the wooden ceiling and put some peppermint extract that is used in the sauna, (after heavy dilution). Put it neat on some cotton wool in the roof void and the rats have not been heard since.
The sauna essence is very strong, so may not work with weaker solutions.

Worth knowing, thanks. I'm going to do that, since it can't possibly hurt.
