Hundreds of rats -- some weighing up to 3 pounds -- have invaded a southern Kentucky town, according to a Local 6 News report.
The giant rats were reportedly first spotted around the Robinson Milling Company in Somerset, Kentucky before moving into the surrounding neighborhoods.
Residents concerned about the health risks posed by the large rats have taken their concerns to the city council of Somerset, Local 6 News reported.
A new supply of rat poison will arrive in the next few days and offered free to all residents.
