Large-sized rat burrows made by the rodents have been seen on the corner of Dalhousie Street and Buccleuch Street.
The rat infestation was first reported by the Garnethill Neighbourhood Watch.
Videos that were taken next to 38 Buccleuch Street demonstrate the severity of the issue with multiple rats emerging from the burrows within seconds.
From January 2018 to May 2019, Buccleuch Street has had 13 visits by domestic pest control to deal with rats and mice.
