As what the other posters have mentioned, sometimes when there are some inconsiderate residents throwing rubbish without bagging it up, the debris will be strewn all along the chute, creating new harbourage sites for cockroaches. Having cockroaches harbouring inside refuse chambers at the bottom is already a big problem (but at least the cleaners are able to scrub and the pest management technicians are able to spray/fog inside); having multiple smaller harbourage sites along the whole line is even worse because no one is able to reach inside to get rid of them, short of getting into private units.jko84 wrote:Thanks Lynx, appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. Is your friend able to keep the bugs to a minimum?
I'll be on the 22nd floor so that's helpful, but my friends were on the 28th and 35th floors (with one of them being directly above mine by 5 levels). granted, that was 2 years ago, but still makes me a bit paranoid.
You did it again .. !!!the lynx wrote: ... Our friend, the perfect coloniser, Mr Cockroach, stumbles across that wonderful patch for new home with his pregnant wife, Mrs Cockroach and together they build a new family. One generation leads to another, and bam! You will have approximately 10 to 12 generations of cockroaches having established their base on what was a banana peel in one year. Who cares what happens to the colony of cockroaches at Basement 3 refuse chamber?
