Mosquito Outbreak Disrupts Residents In Singapore

CNA938 Singapore Singapore 17d13d Impact 5
A Singapore resident has been experiencing recurring crow problems for the past five years, leading to constant noise and even physical attacks. The issue began after previous shooting activities in the area ceased, prompting the birds to become more prevalent. National Environment Agency inspectors found seven mosquito breeding sites in common areas between April 2 and April 9. Residents report a nightly onslaught of mosquitoes since February that has disrupted sleep across multiple floors. One resident stated a family can kill up to 80 mosquitoes on particularly bad nights. The NEA confirmed that both Aedes and Culex mosquitoes were detected. Immediate remedial action was taken and enforcement is planned against premises owners and managers.

“He's had recurring crawl problems for the last five years. Because of the noise, we always keep our door and we're no close. I've been living here for almost 20 over a year. So last time they used to do shooting here. When they stopped, then the crow problem started coming. I even got attacked sometimes.”
