A struggling mum said she has been driven to her wits' end after a two-year battle with a massive colony of rats which invaded her home.
Amy Taggart, 26, said she was left "crying her eyes out" after the rodents chewed through her wiring, defecated in her kitchen and left foul-smelling urine stains on her carpets.
She said: "I've got a fridge that's packed with rat poo underneath. I've had to throw away a box freezer, my fridge. A load of my wires are chewed around my house, my hoover, my chip pan. My carpet's got urine stains all over it.
