Glasgow's west end has been described as the 'epicentre' of a modern day rat plague after several rats were found inside a wheelie bin.
This is the moment two Glasgow bin collectors were shocked to find a family of rats scurrying around inside a wheelie bin near a West End property yesterday afternoon.
One of the refuse collectors, who discovered the rats in the video, but did not wish to be named, said: “Yesterday afternoon my colleague and I were emptying the bins close to the West End. “It is getting that bad now that you can see the rats scurrying away into the bin bags or into their nests. Mr Mitchell said: “The West End has become no doubt the epicentre of the rat plague and this video goes to show how bad things have become.
