dailyrecord.co.uk:

A traumatised Scots mum has revealed her terror of living in a rat and mouse-infested flat for nearly eight months. Tracy Snodgrass, 49, says she and her two kids have been tormented by the creatures since they first appeared in their Glasgow home in August 2021.

The mum-of-two was so terrified the rodents would crawl into her bed at night she was unable to sleep and eventually prescribed sleeping tablets by her doctor.

Shocking video footage shared with the Record shows the family home strewn with rodent droppings on the floors, mattresses and inside shoes.One image shows a dead rat which Tracy caught on a sticky mat trap in her daughter's bedroom.Other pictures show dead mice the family have found themselves.The situation became so bad that Tracy moved the family into her parents home despite paying more than £500 in rent and council tax for the flat.Tracy, who is mum to Pamela, 22, and Mason, 10, told the Daily Record: "The situation has been so traumatising to a point that when I killed a rat in my house seven months ago, I haven't been back since."It was in my daughter's bedroom and in my bedroom before I caught it with a sticky mat.

The traps just weren't working."One night, I was on my phone in bed and a rat came running out behind my bedroom unit, I screamed the house down.
