A mum says her home has been turned into a 'hotel for bugs' - because it is repeatedly invaded by thousands of beetles.
Mum-of-two Lisa Poole, 45, has spent two years trying to battle her real life "beetlejuice" nightmare in her three-bedroomed house but has been unable to tackle the infestation. Lisa, who lives with partner Kienan Jones, 26, and her two teenage children, says the family are forced to sleep in camp beds in the living room due to the out of control bugs.
She says council officers have been unable to help and she feels trapped like a "prisoner" in the "house from hell" in Whitchurch, Cardiff. Cardiff council said it had tried to help the couple after finding evidence of carpet beetles, which it does not usually treat as it is not a public health hazard.
