At least with spiders, I can spray them to death or even easily squash them with my shoes if they're on the ground. Hell, I'll even use my bare hands to squash them if needs be and they don't look too dangerous. With rats you can't simply do that.
Mice as well, btw.
A 22 lr pistol with #12 dust shot is lethal on rats to 20 feet - but will not take the paint off of baseboard trim.... I know this from experience.
