I was about to say more or less what Jeff did. Rats are a public health concern. Humans have lived with rats for centuries, but not peacefully. Bubonic and pneumonic plagues, Hantavirus, lice, etc. Rats have cost human lives. While I understand your distaste for killing another living thing, your duty to fellow humans might have to take precedence over that feeling.
You have an ROUS infestation. So unless you live in the fire swamp with flame spurts, it is inconceivable that you would be able to get rid of them without the use of snap traps.
As they say, if you can figure out a method better than the snap trap, the world will beat a pathway to your door.
