ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) -

 ompany that specializes in cleaning homes in ruinous states is going to help clean a house infested with rats.

Laura Spaulding, with Spaulding DeCon, is taking on the task of cleaning up a south Saint Petersburg home, once hundreds of rats are removed.

Spaulding got a frantic call from the Coleman family. She specializes in cleaning up crimes scenes and animal hoarding homes.

Now she is donating her time to help clean up.

"I think this house is a house of horrors. Now it's even worse," she said.

The problem started in 2012 when Florine Brown brought home a few rats. They began multiplying and Brown made each her pet.

"A couple of times I almost got arrested because I'm trying to tell her to do the right thing," Lonnie Coleman, Brown's uncle.

Coleman lives inside the family home and hears the noise of nearly 700 rats roaming.

"It is kind of mind wrecking. You think it's somebody breaking in or something like that," he said.
