Dear Granny,

I've seen rats in my garden and I'm terrified of them. How do I get rid of them?

Dear Terrified,

I don't like rats either but it's the local council who deal with rats, mice and other vermin. Just call them on 384384 and explain the problem.

If you don't live in Telford you can find some links to council websites under the 'rats' entry in our A – Z.

Good Luck,
