With temperatures plummeting this week, many of us may have been keen to stay in the warmth indoors - but we're not the only ones looking to get out of the cold.
Rodents are likely to be looking for shelter now we're into the depths of winter, with the number of rat-related calls being placed to pest control peaking in late November and December according to Rentokil.
