A pregnant mum of three from North Belfast said she 'just wants to leave' her apartment after 'finding a huge rat' that chewed on her son's school clothes
A pregnant mum of three from North Belfast said she "just wants to leave" her apartment after "finding a huge rat" that chewed on her son's school clothes.
She said that recently she became very concerned for her children's welfare in the apartment after finding a "huge rat" that she later discovered had chewed on her son's clothes. She believes that the pest has been attracted by large amounts of rubbish bags that had been left in the apartment's bin areas.
The mum said that thankfully members of the local Sinn Fein branch who she appealed to for help regarding her pest problem attended her apartment to lay traps and help remove the rodent, with her saying she was very grateful for all of the support they gave her. A spokesperson for the woman's housing association said said: "We are committed to providing safe and attractive homes for people to live in.
"We received a report on December 12, 2022, of a possible rodent sighting, and we are investigating this matter. We have arranged for our contractors to block any entrance points where rodents may gain access. We would also advise tenants to notify rodent problems to the Pest Control Service in Belfast City Council.
