One and a half inch rat hole?
Never.
Your average brown rat is up to 18 inches long and would never squeeze
down a hole that size. Rat holes are more likely to be 60 - 90mm
diameter (that's 2.5 to 3.5 inches).

More likely to be a bank vole - which are unlikely to invade your
home. Bank voles are about 3 to 4 inch body length plus 2 to 3 inch
tail.

Don't panic.
