Hi, Sorry you have a rat problem. I wouldn’t use poison, it is usually put in plastic boxes but it is a danger to all wildlife especially juvenile hedgehogs. Before doing anything else I would stop feeding the birds and clear all the ivy away and make it so they will be visible. They don’t like tidy gardens and prefer lots of hiding places. The holes aren’t necessarily nests they maybe just going under a fence from one garden to another. I would clear all water away too. Hopefully they will clear off when there’s no food and water and no ivy to hide under. I spray peppermint oil around the bottom of the fences, you can buy it from Amazon.
