Ultrasonic repellent for rats

Has anyone successfully used an ultrasonic repellent to get rid of rats?

We have a “friend” in our loft that we could hear scratching first thing this morning, my partner looked in there but couldn’t see anything. Can’t be a bird because they’d be going mad trapped in there, can’t be a squirrel because it’s not that loud so I think it’s a rat.

Our roof was redone this year and there’s small spaces under the eaves for ventilation. We got some wire to keep critters out to patch a hole in our shed so we can put that over these but I’m worried the current rat will them be trapped in our loft having a whale of a time. I thought maybe we could use a repellent to get them out and then cover the holes if they actually work?

I have looked at pest control but it says they lay bait and the rats could die in awkward spaces, I’d rather not have dead rats stinking out the house!

We’ve got them plugged in at the moment after having some mice visitors a few weeks ago. They do seem to have disappeared- not sure if the two things are related or not.
