Let them each sweep through a third of the ship on their own. That was Han's thought. The Eravana is a huge ship when it's compared to the Millenium Falcon and everything on board was so likely to be dead at this point that they could save time splitting up. It made sense at the time.
Right around the time that Ben opens the comm channels Han gets that feeling in his guts that he always does just before things are about to go sideways. His son's voice heralds the bad news - a rathtar (or rathtars depending on how unlucky they were) were still alive and likely hungry in not eating for the last week or so. Han hits the trigger on his commlink to get Ben and Chewie. In his familiar roughness he says simply, "head towards me."
While Rathars might be ornery and lethal ... they are at least, pretty stupid. Captain Solo intends to take advantage.
The first sound, which may or may not be loud enough throughout the expanse of the ship to be heard, would be the sound of Han's DL-44 taking a shot at something. He's put a hole in the grated floor that would be easy enough for him to slip down into for a quick evade. With one hand up to shield his eyes, Han tosses a small device down the corridor vaguely in the direction of Ben's zone. The following noise happens to be unmistakably high-pitched and loud.
A sonic detonator.
With any luck, Han's little trick would draw them out and while the slobbering beast(s) are focused on him, either his son or his partner can pick them off more easily.
