Best Answer

Hot water alone is not an effective method for killing rats. Rats are resilient animals and can withstand high temperatures. To effectively control rat populations, it is best to use proven methods such as traps, baits, or professional pest control services. Additionally, it is important to consider the ethical implications of using lethal methods to control pests.

Yes pouring boiling hot water does kill rats. However, it is considered animal cruelty as it will put them through gratuitous, unnecessary suffering.
