Brace yourselves for an invasion of 10-inch rats – as the cold weather leads to the creatures seeking shelter in the warmth of our homes.
Experts have warned that up to 100 million rats could descend on British homes this winter.
Cleankill Environmental Services boss, Paul Bates, said: ‘With forecasters predicting the harshest winter the UK has seen in half a century, pest controllers are now advising people to make sure their homes are fully protected against invading rodents.
‘At a time when we feel like bolting our doors and keeping winter cold outside, it is hardly surprising that mice, rats and squirrels are trying to join us in our sanctuaries of warmth.
‘They will not only scratch, gnaw and rip items apart to make nesting materials but they will also chew beams and joists, causing structural damage, and through electrical cables, which can cause fires.’
