Craig Lawrie, 42, says he's been been catching up to two rats a day for the past month. However, despite continuous complaints to his housing provider, Tollcross Housing Association, and environmental health interventions, he says the situation remains dire.

The dad started noticing the rats earlier this year but despite workman visiting to set multiple traps and sprays Craig says the problem remains. He says he is having to personally dispose of dead rats himself almost every day. Environmental health officers also placed additional traps in his kitchen, but Craig says he is still left dealing with new rats daily.

Craig has continued to urge the housing association to take meaningful action, requesting that they remove the kitchen cupboards to block the entry points effectively but says they have so far been slow to respond to his requests.
