No need to buy cats... you can try catch them and you need Milk only to catch them Laughing... just kidding! Well, simple method ... Rat Trap (Chuhe Dani), I bought one and one little Rat was there in that Rat Trap. I applied Ghee/Butter so that Rat can smell it from a distance and my plan worked Laughing (thanks to Pankaj)

Updates:

I was not using Spark at all since long, Car was parked in lane (gali), last week (0n 14th) I saw there was too much bad smell in Car, sign of Rat here & there. After cleaning the car I opted for Chuhedani and next morning I was very happy when I cought one. Again complete cleaning (because of too much bad smell). One day without any sign of Rat but again I found signs, My service was due and I reached service station and told them I think there is one rat in my car, everyone was saying this is serious matter because recently we cought one in a U-va and the total bill was 12000/- (damage done by Rat).

When washing guy opened the boot, I saw one small rat in boot, I shouted Catch him and the service guy tried to catch because car cover was there and he tried to catch the rat in cover but somehow he smashed the rat and the rat was dead. He picked the rat with tail and showed me, here is your Rat. I was very happy that another one is finished now.

Yesterday once again we decided to use Spark as there was another car parked behind our Fiesta, I was shocked when I saw Foot marks of a big Rat. Tried everything for atleast 2 hours but no sign, I was sure rat is there in the car.

Last night again I tried the same method (Rat Trap- the best method)...  A piece of Roti with Desi Ghee and when I saw in the morning, I found a big one trapped, So big.... Rat was still in the Rat Trap. Really a big one atleast 7 inches long with a long tail.

I will try room cleaner tonight (on the engine) becaue I thought they are getting in because of Body smell of others.

No damage done till date, Lets hope for the best.

More update, Spark was parked since last 2 days and today I found one more (quite big) rat in Chuhedani. 6th one I guess.

Well Rajiv, sorry to hear about your rat troubles - but how come the rat's getting inside the car? A rat can get inside the engine bay since its open from below...but how come inside the cabin/boot? Are there any big holes/pathways in the firewall or between the engine bay and passenger cabin?

I too park my car outside but have not found a rat inside the cabin till date (touch-wood!!).

Rohit, there is a big space. I checked and found one from engine to cabin. Cables are going in from there and space is too much. Now I am seriously thinking to block this space. Dont know what to do really as from last couple of days I am not getting much time. This can be dangerous, at service station service guy told me that Rat's damaged a U-va and bill was 10-12k.

I was able to get rid of him with the help of a trap-box containing Chappati loaded with Ghee (to add attraction).
