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."
