A family have been terrorised by rats for almost eight months.
Mum Tracy Snodgrass, and her son and daughter have suffered a vermin infestation after they first appeared in August last year.
The 49-year-old was horrified by the mice and rats her Glasgow home and feared they would appear in her bed at night.
It caused her to be prescribed sleeping pills by her doctor as she could not fall asleep.
Images have emerged of her home covered in rodent droppings which also saw the rodents leave mess on her mattresses and inside shoes.
It shows a dead rat caught on a sticky mat trap in her daughter's bedroom., others show dead found by the family.
She was forced to move her family into her parents home despite paying more than £500 in rent and council tax for the flat.
Tracy, who is mum to Pamela, 22, and Mason, 10, told the Daily Record : "The situation has been so traumatising to a point that when I killed a rat in my house seven months ago, I haven't been back since.
"It was in my daughter's bedroom and in my bedroom before I caught it with a sticky mat. The traps just weren't working.
"One night, I was on my phone in bed and a rat came running out behind my bedroom unit, I screamed the house down. I really am petrified of them.
"I'm so terrified of them. I have been so stressed to a point where I couldn't sleep or eat. I had to get sleeping tablets from the doctor.
"We found droppings on the mattresses all the time, so they were obviously crawling all over the beds when we weren't there.
"When I was there I was trying to spend as much time out of the house as I possibly could because I was so terrified, I was that tormented.
"It has been so traumatising to the point where I lock myself in a room. I have become really down from it all - I'm paying rent on a flat I can't live in."
Reidvale Housing Association (RHA) say they are aware of issues with rats and have also discovered evidence of mice.
They have sent pest control teams to Tracey's address on numerous occasions to try to take helm of the issue.
Despite laying down traps and poison, as well as filling holes in the walls and floors, Tracey says the problem still remains and thinks the infestation is now in the walls and under the floorboards.
She added: "It makes no difference.
"The traps never once caught any rats - they're actually still lying in my house from three months ago. The poison was only put down in my daughter's bedroom and it doesn't seem to be steering them away.
"I'm at a wit's end with it all, it has been awful."
After making many attempts to curb the infestation, RHA admitted that the vermin have been returning.
