Once they make it to your foundation or ground level they will then start proceeding to your first floor and then attic. Rats could also access entry in to your rooms through roof that they achieve by climbing drain pipes or running up a tree that is in close proximity of your home. They will fathom the tree branch which is within touching distance and jump on to the roof and thus capture your upper floors.
