Incorrect. The chemicals used here in SIN are totally different than the sprays we used on equipment (aircraft). The spray used on inbound AUS a/c was not for mosquito - it was a general pesticide before the Customs peeps re-arranged the way you were allowed into AUS. It changed when the cross-border protection systems were put in place.ututu wrote:Years ago Australia used to fog any incoming airplane with similar stuff, it can cause allergies and other unpleasant reactions in people with history of immune system disorders.

Inbound a/c to AUS were never "fogged". If you want to check it out, ask QF, CX, SQ.
Don't post crap, please. There are far too many people here who try to help people out, and postings like yours just make our lives more difficult.
Mr. P
If you haven't used words like "post such crap" in your post believe I would have remained civil. But if someone uses language like that I'll return the favor. Anyway,sierra2469alpha wrote:Let me be a little more correct. I was saying that the pesticide used in aircraft WHILE PAX WERE ONBOARD was not the same as the "fogging" pesticide used here. I can see how my comment that aircraft were never "fogged" could have been mis-interpreted. I was talking about the spray used while PAX were aboard.
In reading the comment I quoted you on, it implied you were talking about, inter alia, "...fogging any incoming airplane with similar stuff..."
Always happy to make things clearer, even if your original post was not exactly a stunning piece of prose, nor was it entirely clear if you were talking about spraying of insecticide while PAX were O/B or treatment of the equipment while in scheduled maintenance (i.e. no pax onboard), that which you then conveniently "flip" to suit the purpose of flaming me because I disagreed with you.
As an ex airline pilot, I kinda know these things.
Besides, on a plane, if it's not the pesticide they spray, it's the food. Damn near killed me a few times!!
We clear, now?
If you tape it, then its a long trip down to the garbage collection point. We spray Baygon around the stainless steel chute bucket every evening.boffenl wrote: Also, tape your trash shoots (spelling?) so the bugs--BIG FLYING COCKROACHES--can't get into your place. Personal experience! It's not pretty in the garbage shoots during and immediately after the fogging.
