(Plover, WI) — A woman in Plover, Wisconsin is facing eviction because of the 300 rats in her trailer. The “Wausau Daily Herald” reports that Darlene Flatoff has been keeping the extensive number of rodents in her trailer since last March, and apparently allows them to run loose. Flatoff reportedly started collecting domesticated rats from pet stores and let them breed with wild rats. Eventually the offspring took over the home. Health officials discovered the problem last fall. They say the home is not capable to dispose of sewage properly and there’s evidence of rat feces all over the property. The problem is now so bad that officials have no choice but to capture the rats and demolish the house. Once Flatoff leaves the mobile home it will take exterminators about four weeks to capture all the rats.
