A young woman was forced to live in a shipping container for three months after her flat was completely overrun by rats.
Tia Henderson, 20, who was in foster care until she turned 18, has lived in her ground floor housing association flat for two years, and said everything there was fine until July this year.
She started hearing scratching sounds in her wall and thought she was “going crazy”, until she noticed two rodents scurrying around her kitchen one day while she was sitting on the sofa, the Manchester Evening News reports.
