Steel wool actually works because as the rat tries to chew through the steel wool, it fills it's stomach with little shards of steel and will crawl away to die in peace. Copper wool actually works better for this type of scenario as:
1) It is less flammable
2) It doesn't rust as badly
3) Copper is also a potent rodent poison, it will more likely kill the rats before they can gnaw through.
