    Please come to West coast area. Rats just running across the walkway, seen at anytime of the day! Yes, centipedes found at home too!

    very interesting video on behind the scenes activities that we are NOT usually aware of. CNA please provide the budget for your journalists, videographers to do more of such videos.

    TLDR, NEA only monitors, no actual rat was harmed in the production of this video

    Then how is NEA resolving issues of birds like mynah and crows which is also breeding exponentially near coffeeshops and hawker centres in hdb estates?

      I was about to say the same thing. The problem is getting serious and I have been making reports to town council. NEA seems like just wake up and trying to blow hot air to show they do things.

    I & my friend have seen multiple times community cat catching rats. Also photographed the cat surveilling for rats from piles of racks outside neighborhood shops at night. This neighborhood has a few cats guarding around day h night. No big rats at all. Rats get taken out young, no chance to grow bi & fat. Cats here are fit & tough. Thanks to this cat squadron, no rat problem.

      This is false because I have seen cats run away from rats. The cats are so well fed they do not eat rats.

      These pampered cats get cat biscuits and canned salmon. These cats do not eat rats. The cat feeders leave so much food and then do not clear away the leftover food attracting rats.

    I am having centipedes issues in my place for a year. Hired my own pest control cannot find the hive. Called town council issue not resolved. Can NEA sniff out centipedes too? I don’t want to have my 2 year old to be bitten and then things get done!

      Which floor you staying?
      They like dark and damp areas.
      They also feed on insects.
      Maybe try to improve housekeeping and make sure no water leakage.

    Cat feeders do not know that cats have small stomachs, they leave so much food that the cats cannot finish. The cat feeders do not clear away the leftovers attracting rats.

      Exactly. Same for my area. Leaving food and water everywhere. Isnt that against the law? Why no authorities act on it? It is NOT an act of kindness but some selfish self-satisfaction.
