SINGAPORE: Discarded mattresses had caused great inconvenience to residents at an HDB block when bedbugs were suspected to breed on the exterior walls, entering units.
Residents noticed swelling and itching on their arms after being bitten by bedbugs in their sheets, accompanied by bedbugs on the exterior walls of the HDB flats. A 62-year-old resident, who lived on the 14th floor, found bedbugs and took notice of the mattresses left near the garbage bins. Due to the bites, she went to the doctor and used anti-itch cream. They also bought insect repellent and sprayed it on the bed to avoid further infestation.
Authorities had already removed the mattresses, cleaned the flats, and used pest control operators for spraying treatments. Safety measures will be taken to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the HDB estates
