A free rat control service for council homes is to be piloted by Falkirk Council to help tenants amid the cost-of-living crisis.
Campaigners have thanked the council for "listening to tenants" who say they have struggled to pay for the cost of private pest control.
Councillor Gary Bouse, spokesperson for housing and communities, explained: “This pilot is designed to see if there is a demand for a service and will be fully consulted on with this year’s rent consultation for tenants.’
