Over the last week or so I have noticed that every now and then there is either one loud bang
/pop noise, or a few loud bang/pop noises in short succession. At the exact same time of the bang, my bedside lamp flickers off, then back on again. I am unaware if any other lights flicker, I have only witnessed my lamp doing so (I am disabled so spend the majority of my time in bed).
We have had rats that have got into the house recently (we have poison down and are trying to get rid of them). I suffer badly with anxiety (which mainly revolves around my pets and the possibility of a house fire). Hearing these bangs and seeing the light flicker has really ramped my anxiety up ?
Can anyone either reassure me that there's no need to worry, or tell me that yes I should worry? I'm honestly scared to go to sleep, in fear of what may happen ?
We had rats a few years ago and they chewed the wires very close to our fuse box that time, resulting in one day smelling smoke from the meter cupboard and needing a section of rewiring done. We never had this bang and light flicker issue then though.
