When he went to make a cup of tea in the kitchen, he was astonished by what he came across. GrimsbyLive reports Michael claimed he saw a "foot-long" rat in his kitchen. The 57-year-old has been unable to eat or sleep since rats began terrorising his home at the start of September. They had chewed his furniture and clothes and left his kitchen soaked in urine, he said. Michael, who is disabled after having a stroke in 2019, said he was left "frightened to death" to find the deceased creature behind his washing machine, and that it looked like a "small cat". Meghan Markle says she's been called 'crazy' to 'minimise' her problems Michael Rutherford at his rat-infested home ( GrimsbyLive/Donna Clifford) He said: "When I got up I saw something and I just thought it was a shadow, but when I pulled the washing machine back I saw this massive rat... it was like a small cat. "I shut the kitchen door and thought, 'What do I do?'. "I managed to take two photographs of it and then rang my sister. It frightened me to death. It was huge." Michael, who has lived at the house for 22 years, contacted his housing provider, and a pest control worker was subsequently sent to his property to dispose of the creature. Michael's home he says is 'infested' with rats ( GrimsbyLive/Send In) It is the fifth time pest control has visited the property since the beginning of September. Rat poison was first left in his garden because he has a pet dog, but workers then scattered it inside his home after the situation did not improve. The distressed tena){kind=link}
