Rat sightings in housing estates here have taken a sharp dive, according to latest official data.
On average, some 4,100 rat burrows were found inHousing Board estates up till November this year, compared to 7,300 in 2011 when the National Environment Agency (NEA) first started a national programme to track rat sightings over six two-month cycles each year.
The dip has led the agency to turn its attention beyond the heartland.
Last month, it called a public tender for pest control companies to "locate and destroy" rats in 12 areas. These included Orchard Road, Geylang, Little India, Joo Chiat and Holland Village.
