Helpless mum-of-two's life in 'turmoil' after garden is 'overrun' with rats

A helpless mum -of-two whose life has been left in 'turmoil' after her garden became ''overrun'' with rats says she was ''probably happier'' living in her old home where she was attacked with petrol bombs. Jenny Gower had been placed in a Housing Executive property in South Belfast in 2019 after a fuel bomb was thrown through the window of her previous home.

Jenny said that during lockdown there were no signs of the rodents creeping around but they began to emerge once the area got busier again, Belfast Live reports. Since then Jenny's life has been turned upside down as she tries to battle the vermin 'infestation' that has broken out around her home which has gotten so bad that she discovered rats running along her windowsills.
