Some frustrated West Hartford homeowners are facing an issue that has them a bit “rat-tled,” so to speak.

One person said they’ve been battling pesky rats for months, making them wonder whether there’s a wider problem in town.

“It just scares me knowing that they’re here and they can pop out at any time,” the resident said.

Emily Salvador of West Hartford is fed up with rats, especially the ones she captured on home surveillance scurrying near her hedges and by the rim of her pool.
