A Lanarkshire mum has been left horrified after her house became overrun with rats and giant slugs, leaving her fearing for the health of her young children.
Mum-of-two Shelley Rock said her home "smelled like death" when the problem first arose last week as she grew concerned it was due to rodents she and her neighbours had spotted in the communal lane behind their homes over the summer.
On Friday, her six-year-old dog, Hugo, was rushed to an emergency vet appointment with extreme sickness and diarrhoea which medics confirmed could be due to ingesting rat droppings or urine, the Daily Record reports.
