A council said it had taken legal steps against a developer after residents were left with a rat infestation on their estate.
Some residents on Woodlark Chase, in Norbreck, Blackpool, said they had seen rats in their gardens and under floorboards and spotted rat droppings.
One said a rat chewed through wires in her car, causing £600 worth of damage.
The council said contractors had employed a pest control firm last week to deal with the issue.
Some residents are partly blaming an attenuation basin, which is designed to collect excess rainwater, for the problem and said the rodents were coming up from the pipes there.
A man who lives on the estate on Warren Drive told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "Rats have been seen sitting on windowsills and on bin covers.
"We have rabbit hutches in our garden and it's a concern if the rats get near them.
"It's very unnerving to think about where they might be hiding or if they are going to scuttle past your feet when you go out into the garden.

"It makes me shudder as the rats are huge."
Another resident, who also wanted to remain anonymous, said: "You're worried about letting the dog out on an evening because you're not sure what might be waiting in the garden."
However, Richard Miller who also lives at Woodlark Chase, said he was not concerned.
"To this day, I've not seen one. I live right on the edge and not had a problem."

Looks like action has been taken swiftly - so fair enough. Nice houses; but don't these new builds all look the same? Cheers

Firstly thanks for another video. I enjoy your work. 🙂 They would know if they had a rat infestation. Rats chew on the electrical cable under the bonnet of cars. A neighbour down the road had her car's computer system totally compromised. We live rural so plenty of rats around farms that feed animals grain. I had a rat chewing on cables twice on two different cars. Once at an overnight stay at a hotel. The other at a motel. Since then I have one of those wax rat poison blocks tied up near the top suspension mount. Worth remembering if you do overnight stays at hotels parking near the bin area.

Hi, hope you’re having a lovely weekend? many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on the video appreciate that. I heard they chew through wires etc so very true. It’s fantastic living in a rural part all that Countryside and fresh air, you certainly pay the price if you want that life style in the UK. Also thanks for the advice as well, enjoy the rest of your weekend and again just to say thanks for your support by watching and the kind comment. all the best Paul.

Hi Daniel, many thanks for your comment and watching the video, I agree it’s really nice round that area, we had a walk around other streets near by and really clean and tidy, and yes fly tippers and people who don’t care dropping rubbish will encourage wildlife which can cause problems, but all in all very nice area and well maintained. thanks again for your comment and hope you enjoy future videos with us. take care.
