'My daughter is terrified through the whole night every night, disturbing every neighbour on our road.'
A family has been left "hysterical" as their home has become overrun with rats and mice and the problem is so severe the rodents are being found inside their clothing.
The mum-of-one said the problem started years ago when work began on a nearby empty plot of land. Patricia believes a nest or makeshift home was disturbed, causing the rats and mice once dwelling there to find a new home: in the row of houses in which she lives. Patricia said the problem wasn't as severe initially, though it has now become serious, with "seven rats caught in the last few days.
"She's severely autistic. Yesterday, as I dressed her inside her coat pocket there were two live mice." She said: "My extended family won't even come over any more as they say it's so horrible. Me and my daughter shouldn't have to live like this. I'm lost."
