Rats are most likely they will go anywhere there is a food source which your compost bin readily supplies them with especially if putting in kitchen waste. Obviously rat poison is not the answer and a trap would be difficult. You may be best to move the compost bin and refill with the contents this disturbance is usually enough to put your furry friends off.

"normal"?
