'There is no place for complacency in addressing these problems.'
A Glasgow health boss has warned the scale of rats in the future could mean that current "conventional" control methods “may be unable to contain” the problem.
Dr Crighton, of NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, said: "I think it is important to bear in mind that an increase in rodent populations has been a national phenomenon and is not restricted to Glasgow. The reasons for the increase in rodent populations are not completely understood but probably include climate change and increases in available food supply."
She said a recent demonstration at Govanhill Park "confirmed increasing community concerns regarding infestation and rats in Govanhill."
