Best Answer

Odors that repel rats can be fresh or dried mint leaves, oils of mints (like peppermint), camphor and pitch pine.

Ferret poop. Really. Try the local pet store. Put the poop somewhere you know the rat likes to hang out or travel along. Will work every time.

Do female rats and male rats stink?

In general, rats do not give off an odor or musk like many other animals do. They bathe themselves (grooming behavior), so they do not require other forms of bathing (and it would not be good for their skin anyway). Therefore, in terms of hygiene, as long as their cages are cleaned regularly, they will not stink.
