An expectant mum said she feels as if she is living in a prison as her home has been overrun by “rats bigger than cats” eating food from her cupboards.
Lucy Battle, 22, shares the home with her son Chiswick, 1, and says several neighbours had complained about the rodent problems.
However instead of helping to rid them of the vermin, the housing estate instead urged her to put food away in metal containers and to “shut their windows” to keep the animals away.
