My sister took lease of a council house not long ago, it had had a previous rat problem they told her but they said it was now clear.
She moved in, with her little kids and the rats have come back in the walls of the house, she has since discovered its been a problem in that house for over 20 years and the Council just keep changing tenants. The council wont believe that the rats are back and wont do a thing to help her. Her phone isnt recording the noise loud enough. She is worried sick.
Any ideas of what she can do to prove the vermin are back? 3 kids' health at risk its a disgrace.

Thanks in advance.

Who is she contacting at the Council? How does she know it's rats?
Has she actually seen rats and could she film them?

Call Rentokil and get them to inspect the house and confirm there are rats , get them to give a statement of the problem and an estimate of the cost to get rid of them , then show the documents to the council.

Hi, thanks all. The council pest control dept told her of the historic problem, as did neighbours. She hears loud scraping and running in between the ceiling and upper floor at night and scraping noises in the walls.
Someone from the council came out and said its almost certainly rats again, put down bait for a week - but in the loft - and it wasnt touched. She thinks theyre in the cavities and not inside the house.

Apparently rats go back to their runs again and again, and new rats will use old runs but mice wont go near rat runs.
