Limbang, 2 April 2025 | Wednesday – The Limbang District Operations Control Center (PKOD) responded swiftly to a public complaint regarding an insect nest in Kampung Pengkalan Madang. The incident, which involved a hazardous nest of ground wasps, required urgent attention to protect residents in the area.
At approximately 2:30 PM, the Bravo Squad, consisting of four members and led by Cpl (PA) Enggu Anak Seri Pandie, was deployed to the location, which was approximately 37 kilometers away from Limbang. Upon arrival, the team met with the complainant to confirm the presence of the dangerous insect nest.
The Bravo Squad carried out a thorough inspection of the site, ensuring the presence of the nest before taking action. The nest, which was identified as a ground wasp stinger, was about the size of a takraw ball. These wasps are known for their aggressive nature and potent sting, posing a potential risk to residents and passersby.
To safely neutralize the threat, Bravo Squad utilized both a burning and Ridsect spraying method. This combination effectively destroyed the nest and eliminated any immediate danger. Following the operation, the team conducted a final survey of the area to ensure that no further risks remained. After confirming the safety of the location, Bravo Squad returned to the Limbang District Operations Control Center (PKOD).
