Rat update: Since I put out the steel wool pads soaked in cayenne pepper and the motion lights, we haven't seen any new damage or entry point holes in the vents.
I think based on the open space and corresponding wildlife around our house I can never claim complete victory. But for now at least all vent holes appear to remain plugged with the steel wool pads and the scratching has abated. Thanks to all for your help. I am sure I will be using some of the other suggestions in the future as the rats are probably merely regrouping and coming up with a new action plan as I type.
