Exterminators inundated with calls thanks to 'Celtic Tiger' renovations

Homeowners with badly-built 'Celtic Tiger' extensions are suffering from infestations of rats from the sewer system, an extermination company has warned.

Pest control companies say they are "inundated" with calls about rat infestations, and many of them are from residents of homes where jobs weren't properly completed between the late 1990s and 2000s.
