Shunli Disciplinary Services Dormitory’s garbage room is haunted by rats

There are rats in the area! A reader reported to this newspaper that there are often rats in the garbage room of Shunli Disciplinary Services Dormitory in Kwun Tong, and I have seen 5 rats at a time. From the video provided by the reporter, it can be seen that a rat is lingering on the side of the large green garbage can, although there are security guards nearby. , but the mouse is not afraid of people, and continues to “donate the pot to donate the pot”. District councillors who followed up on the incident pointed out that they had received complaints from neighbors a few months ago. After inspection, they found that debris had accumulated on the site and the lids of the trash cans were not in good condition. The situation was “not ideal”. Suggestions, hope to be effective.

Readers who live at the above address said that they often see mice, and once saw 5 mice appearing, and said bluntly “it’s scary”, and also said that the management company did not care regarding the situation, “There is an administrator who sits in isolation and sees nothing. “. It can be seen from the two videos provided to this newspaper that the first one shows a mouse advancing along the mouth of the garbage house, walking a few steps and then stopping. prevent mice from foraging. In another video, a mouse quickly ran from the bottom of one trash can to the bottom of another trash can, and there were also mice at the bottom of other trash cans. These trash cans were full, and the styrofoam box and the cardboard were exposed. Impossible to cover at all.

Kwun Tong District Councillor Fu Bizhen said that around July and August this year, she received feedback and complaints from the neighbors one following another, alleging that there were mice infested on the site. Not ideal,” and pointed out three major drawbacks, one of which is that residents move in and out from time to time on the site, resulting in a large amount of furniture and sundries being disposed of, but the environmental protection buckets for collecting large garbage are not frequent, causing sundries to accumulate, and it is easy for mice to harbour . The second is that the lids of some large trash cans are not properly secured, and mice can easily enter and start a meal. The third is the wet floor of the garbage room.

Fu pointed out that since the above site is a private housing estate, the cleaning work is the responsibility of the management company, and the FEHD has provided the management company with a number of suggestions, including strengthening cleaning, installing barbed wire at the drains to prevent rodents from entering, and removing large-scale garbage. The lid of the bucket, closing the gate of the garbage room in the early morning, etc. The management company also placed rat cages and rat bait near the garbage room, but the rats were very smart and were not easy to catch. In addition, at the district council meeting yesterday (1st), she also focused on reporting the rodent infestation situation to the FEHD staff, hoping that the department would continue to assist in solving the rodent infestation problem.

Rats lingered on the other side of the trash can, not afraid of people continuing to “donate pots to pots”.
