Rat catchers claim increase in Cornwall vermin numbers

The BBC Report that rat catchers claim an increase in Cornwall vermin numbers.

Rat catchers in Cornwall claim there has been a rise in the number of rats they are having to deal with.

Pest control experts said delayed waste collections, unwashed recycling and the recent heavy rain could all be factors.
