Family left hysterical as their home is 'overrun' with rats and mice

A family has been left "hysterical" as their home has become overrun with rats and mice and the problem is so severe the rodents are being found inside their clothing.
"Terrified" Patricia Barnes, 57, said she has been dealing with a pest problem for five years now, though, according to the mum-of-one, in "the last few weeks" the problem has become so "unbearable" that family have stopped visiting their home. Patricia fears that her autistic daughter, 22, will get bitten or worse by the rodents.
The mum-of-one said the problem started years ago when work began on a nearby empty plot of land. Patricia believes a nest or makeshift home was disturbed, causing the rats and mice once dwelling there to find a new home: in the row of houses in which she lives. Patricia said the problem wasn't as severe initially, though it has now become serious, with "seven rats caught in the last few days."

Patricia, who acts as a full-time carer for her bed-bound mum, told the ECHO: "In the last few weeks it's gotten so much worse.
"My daughter is terrified through the whole night every night, disturbing every neighbour on our road. I'm now scared stiff that she'll pick one up.
"She's severely autistic. Yesterday, as I dressed her inside her coat pocket there were two live mice."
Patricia told how multiple times she has gone to dress herself and found mice in her clothing, or holes created by the hungry rodents. She said she "doesn't know" how they get into her home.
She said: "My extended family won't even come over any more as they say it's so horrible. Me and my daughter shouldn't have to live like this. I'm lost."

The Smiths‘ Mike Joyce has discussed the band’s final album ‘Strangeways, Here We Come’ on its 35th anniversary.The legendary Manchester quartet’s fourth studio LP came out on September 28, 1987, a few months after the band split up.Speaking to BBC News to celebrate its birthday, Joyce said “it was a great experience recording that album,” adding that he marks it out from the band’s previous records because it is “a story album”.Joyce added: “I think it’s just an unusual-sounding album. There’s great songs on the others, but it just pips it for me, in terms of what we ended up with as an album and the whole thing in its entirety, rather than individual songs.”Remembering the recording process for the album, Joyce said: “A lot of it was written in the studio.
