'The town council engages the pest control vendor to conduct weekly culling and bait treatment in the area.'
A jogger caught sight of one at Block 364 Tampines Street 34 on Saturday at 4.41am and it was big.said he was jogging to a nearby leisure park when he spotted the animal near a central refuse chute .
"The town council claimed that they engaged a term contractor to control and destroy these rats, but it’s not prevention unless residents and cleaners practise good sanitation habits.""Residents should stop feeding cats and pigeons on the streets, in the void decks and common corridors. There are still maids throwing bread out for birds, which is high-rise littering. The leftovers also attract rats," he said.
"It’s a matter of mindset and social responsibility. It is hard to change their bad habits and still work in progress."
