Everyone's worst nightmare - Woman on Toilet Attacked by Rat

[proud2BlibKansan]

A DISABLED woman was horrified after being bitten by a rat which came up through her toilet while she was sitting on it.

Maxine Killingback, who lives on her own, jumped up in shock when she felt the rat bite the top of her leg and fell over onto the floor, hurting her back.

After drowning the rat herself using a plunger and barricading the toilet to stop other rats which were trying to get out, she phoned Greenwich Council only to be told she would have to wait three weeks for them to come and sort out the problem.

The 55 year-old, from Greenwich Council-owned Armada Court, Creek Road, Deptford, was too afraid to go back in the bathroom and fled the flat to stay with her partner in Woolwich following the incident on March 17.

5. toilets can be fitted with valves that would prevent this from happening

probably too expensive for the council to install. My question is why don't they have a contract with a pest control company? In the US, large housing complexes usually bid for these services, and in some jurisdiction they are required if the housing is for poor or disabled people.

My suggestion to anyone who fears this could happen to them: buy Rat-Away, made by Dr. T's Nature Products (http://www.repell.com)
