I had a rat that entered my house in January. Town council told me that once its in your house its not our problem. we only take action for rats outside of units. i told them "LOOK, YOU GUYS DIDNT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE OUTSIDE THATS WHY ITS IN MY HOUSE" and only then they sent men to find the rat.
i live in sengkang and on the 3rd floor. so this was back in january. now its june and i have seen that most rats are already gone. their population has decreased rapidly.
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
Please come to West coast area. Rats just running across the walkway, seen at anytime of the day! Yes, centipedes found at home too!
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?
Especially near the coffee shops there are so many. It has got so fat that it can be mistaken for a cat.
That camera can also help to catch those idiot smokers!!!
Zzz sniff out ? How they eliminated the issue ?
Issue not solved. See my comments above.
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 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.
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.
NEA.....FINE CITY
Must have falcons, owls and kestrel in singapore. Their main prey are rats!
Some rats are white to avoid detection
😂🤣😆
Rodent fertility control is an effective long-term solution.
NEA asked for it by removing their natural predator; cats
Gene drives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way the pap party have to learn from other countries how they control dengue problems.
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.
Rats can be clean animals if they are fed clean food.
the black death would like a word with you
Absurd!
true. some ppl are just ignorant and dont want to do their research. Rats are smart animals.
@@nwyk153 who is saying they're not? serial murderers tend to be smarter than average too. What's your point?
@@darkcnight You dont understand what I've said.
Left over food for cats attract birds, ants, lizards, cockroches, rats and more.
You have irrational fears of many small and tiny living things. Ask your loved ones to recommend a shrink.
Blk 537 Bedok North St. 3 has huge rat problem due to stray cat feeders leaving food for cats and not clearing away the food. NEA scared of fining these litterbugs. Very bad.
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.
@@gnohhet1 NEA are scared to fine cat feeders who do not remove the leftover food. Cat feeders do not clear away leftover food attracting rats.You are right.
We have to keep complaining to NEA and Town Council.
Cat feeders leave too much food for the cats and do not clear away left over food attracting rats.
NEA is scared of fining litterbugs who leave food for cats.
Stray cat feeders also do not understand that cats have Small stomachs and they give too much food. The fat cats cannot finish the food. NEA has no guts to fine the stray cat feeders for littering.
Community cats keep rat population in check. Where there's no cat, rats multiply like, well, rats.
Not true. The cats are scared of the rats and run away. I have see it with my own eyes.
Absolutely false. I hve seen the cats run away from the rats.
The fat cats are so well fed they don't eat rats.
Lots of rats at blk 537 Bedok North St. 3
Nah......Steve paid a visit in Toa Payoh.
@@johntwohy8337Steve has not come to blk 537 Bedok North Street 3 yet but there are many rats here. If you live here you would see them.
@@johntwohy8337 Stay in blk 537 Bedok North St. 3 and you will see the rats.
@@johntwohy8337 yea below toa payoh block near mrt side have alot running around
NEA must work with Aljunied Town Council to educate the residents
We don't want rats.
Karma will teach you a lesson that you'll never forget..
No one
Gene drives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
