    The discovery of a colossal, near 2ft long rat a a council property has seen a warning issued. People have taken to social media to express their disbelief after local councillors posted an image of the 22-inch rodent that had been caught within a property in their constituency.

    The photograph shows the rat inside in a transparent plastic bag, after a pest controller was called to investigate a property in the Normanby area of North Yorkshire. How the rat gained entry to the property remains unclear.

    In a social media update published by Conservative councillors David Taylor and Stephen Martin, they described the rat’s sheer size as “shocking” and warned that rodents were being “spotted more and more” throughout the area.

    Their statement read: “This massive rat over 22 inches long from nose to tail was found inside a local home this weekend and this is the image a resident has sent. It’s almost the size of a small cat. And it’s not a one-off.”, reports Wales Online.

    The post continues by claiming that rats were becoming a “growing” problem, spotted in alleyways, around bins, overgrown land, “crossing the streets and now inside homes”. Keep rats and mice ‘away’ from your home and garden with four natural household items

    The councillors then asked the Labour-run Redcar and Cleveland Council to address the issue, by conducting surveys and plans, funding and joint action in the borough.

    Meanwhile, in Wales, all households have are being encouraged to perform a straightforward check to reduce the chances of rats entering their homes by a pest control expert.

    Cardiff council’s pest control services saw a 10% increase in call-outs to rats last year.

    The British Pest Control Association said there were anecdotal reports of rat increases in towns and cities across the UK.

    A pest control specialist from Triumph Pest Control, based in Wales, recently advised in a video: “Be proactive about preventing rats getting into your attic space, or anywhere into your property. Believe it or not, now is the time – summertime – to be proactive.”

    Gareth Davies, from Pest and Property Solutions, told BBC Wales earlier this year that in 36 years of business he had never received so many call-outs to rats.

    “We still have a massive rubbish problem, certainly in Cardiff I can speak of,” he said. “People discard rubbish in sort of hedgerows, throw stuff out of cars, part-eaten food.

    “There’s rubbish mounted up where the refuse people don’t get to.”

    Mr Davies said seagulls and rats attacked bin bags on the streets, creating food sources, and said higher temperatures due to climate change meant rats could now “breed all year round”.
