A Scots tenant has been left "disgusted" and unable to sleep due to vermin rats 'overrunning' his home in Glasgow.Michael Carey and mum Agnes Martin, 50, are scared they will get serious health problems as the rodents are infesting their home and others nearby in the north of the city.The 25-year-old says a mix of private and housing association residents, face daily battles with the pests who can be heard in the walls and floors as well as entering flats, with droppings being found on the floor.

Speaking to Glasgow Live, Michael said, "Five rat holes are under the building. We've reported it to Wheatley, our housing association, and they and the council keep going back and forth on who is responsible so nothing gets done. "People have been complaining but we are at a loss for what to do now because both the council and housing say it's the other's responsibility because a lot of the flats are private."It's been ongoing for a year and has got worse since the new houses went up at Northbridge."I've been here for all of my life and I've never heard them in the house until now.

You can hear them in the wall and you can hear them in the floors below."We know they are getting into the rooms as well. Glasgow City Council put in pest control boxes and you can see loads of droppings around them.

We've already caught one."It's not just us. My upstairs neighbour has already caught three or four and there's another one they are trying to get.
