NEA taps surveillance tech, video analytics to boost fight against rat infestations

The National Environment Agency (NEA) in Singapore is turning to advanced surveillance tech and video analytics to tackle rat infestations more effectively. By studying the nocturnal behavior and movement patterns of rats through these tools, authorities aim to identify hotspots and implement targeted interventions. This move is crucial as rat infestations pose significant public health risks, potentially spreading diseases. Leveraging technology in this way could lead to more efficient and less invasive methods of pest control.
