'If a problem like this is not effectively dealt with the rats will just move on to other areas'
An invasion of rats in Blackpool has now hopefully been brought under control after professional pest controllers were brought in to combat the rodents.
She said: “A pest controller has been retained to get on top of the problem. I think now the developer and management company have taken ownership of the problem hopefully there will not be a recurrence. I believe similar measures have been successfully taken at other housing developments on the Fylde coast. If a problem like this is not effectively dealt with the rats will just move on to other areas.
Prior to the specialist crack squad being sent in, Coun Sloman told a meeting of the full council on January 31 residents had “been infested by what I can only describe as a plague of rats of almost biblical proportions.”
