Overview
- A Brynteg council tenant says rats have repeatedly infested her home for about nine years, traumatizing her two children, one of whom is autistic.
- The tenant reports rodents throughout the property, including cupboards, wall cavities and the attic, with food ruined and belongings damaged.
- She says pest control has visited frequently yet often recorded “no activity,” leaving the problem unresolved despite ongoing reports.
- Attic insulation was removed a few months ago after chewed and nested items were discarded, but the family says the infestation continues.
- Wrexham Council says it has attended with pest control, provided advice and offered a home in Coedpoeth that was declined, noting that housing offers depend on need, demand and supply.
