A man says he feels "trapped" in his own home due to ongoing vermin issues.
Tom and Sue Goulding have spent thousands of pounds over the years after rats destroyed their home, including the garden shed. But things have not improved and Tom, of Huyton House Road, said he feels he is in a constant cycle.
Despite having Environmental Health out several times, Tom said the vermin problems have caused his home to "stink" and they no longer allow their grandchildren to visit for prolonged periods of time. He told the ECHO he feels "trapped" in his own home as a result.
