oh hey we have the same feeder, can confirm it works good.
good luck with getting rid of rats if they're there for the seed. birds make a absolute mess of their food (source: have 3 pet birds) and it makes a floor buffet that animals can't resist, so if its not rats its mice, if its not mice its squirrels, if its not squirrels its shrews, etc etc.
be very careful where you store the seed. once rats, or similar micey animals figure out there's food on your property, they can sniff out where you keep the mother lode. i had a terrible mouse problem in my last rental home where they somehow got into the crawl space and then into the garage and tore into any place we had bird food or trash. keep it sealed tight in something like a home depot bucket or off the ground entirely.
