Palma RA Fogging Exercise to Prevent Dengue

Proposal to build a Management Office in Kemuning Palma Residence

Paramount will handover the management of Palma Residence to the Kemuning Palma Resident's Association (KPRA) by end of this year. Due to this for the effective management of Palma Residence, KPRA has proposed to build a Management Office at the empty space behind the treatment plant, near the basketball court.

KPRA would love to hear the comments of all residents about the building of a Management Office. Please post your comments here.

Thank you.

Check Your Roof Gutter

Notice to all residents

Kindly check your roof gutter to ensure that it is properly installed and aligned in a self draining position.

The photo is just an example of how rain water would be collected at one end of the gutter if it is not properly aligned and could be a breeding ground for mosquito larvae. We would not want our family members to be infected by the Dengue / Chikungunya fever.

The RA would like to urge all residents to take immediate action to inspect their roof gutter and rectify / re-align them to a self draining position."

Dengue Prevention

To prevent the spread of dengue fever, you must first prevent the breeding of its vector, the Aedes mosquito. The Aedes mosquito is easily identifiable by its distinctive black and white stripes on their body. It prefers to breed in clean, stagnant water easily found in our homes. You can get rid of the Aedes mosquito by frequently checking and removing stagnant water in your premises.

 

The guidelines below will give you an overview of how you can prevent the Aedes mosquito from breeding.

At all times

v     Turn pails and watering cans over and store them under shelter.

 

v     Remove water in plant pot plates. Clean and scrub the plate thoroughly to remove mosquito eggs. Avoid the use of plant pot plates, if possible.

 

v     Loosen soil from potted plants to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water on the surface of the hardened soil.

 

v     Do not block the flow of water in scupper drains along common corridors in HDB estates. Avoid placing potted plants and other paraphernalia over the scupper drains.

 

v     Cover rarely used gully traps. Replace the gully trap with non-perforated ones and install anti-mosquito valves.

 

v     Cover bamboo pole holders after use. Rainwater can potentially accumulate in these bamboo pole holders if they are uncovered and create a habitat.

 

v     No tray or receptacles should be placed beneath and or/ on top of any air-conditioning unit so as not to create a condition favourable for mosquito breeding. 

 

Every other day

v     Change water in flower vases. Clean and scrub the inner sides of vases. Wash roots of flowers and plants thoroughly as mosquito eggs can stick to them easily.

 

Once a week

v     Clear fallen leaves and stagnant water in your scupper drains and garden. These leaves could collect water or cause blockages to the drains, thus resulting in the buildup of stagnant water.
.

v     Clear any stagnant water in your air cooler unit.

 

Once a month

v     Add prescribed amounts of sand granular insecticide into vases, gully traps and roof gutters, even if they are dry.

  v     Clear away fallen leaves in roof gutters and apron drains. If structurally feasible, remove the roof gutters.
