Residents of Plana de Can Bertran street in Rubí have voiced their outrage over an unsustainable rodent proliferation that has reportedly worsened significantly over the past few months.

The issue is particularly severe at building number 62. Community president Marc Martí explained that the situation deteriorated in September during sewage collector improvement works, which allowed rodents to escape into the streets and buildings.

"Our building was the closest to the works and a huge number of them came out and got inside the building."
