A rat infestation in Overbrook is causing a major headache for residents, who say the problem is out of control. Rats can be seen in yards day and night, with no sign of relief.

Overbrook resident Lynne Belanger says she has seen more rats than she ever imagined could be in one yard.

"Oh, every day. Easy. Two to three dozen, I kid you not," she said.

Belanger says the rats aren't just passing through, they've made her yard their personal playground.

"When we're quiet in the house, we look out the window and see them all dancing, playing, you know, parading around my yard," she said.

There are holes all over her backyard, and these rats aren't shy, walking along the fence in the middle of the day.

Ryan Richardson has had similar experiences.
