SERIAN – The Serian District Civil Defence Force successfully handled an insect nest destruction case in Kampung Pridan on 2 May 2026, following an emergency call from a local resident.
The report, received by the MyASPA-O Charlie Squad, stated that an insect nest had formed on the roof of a house. A team of five members was immediately deployed to the location to investigate and carry out the necessary operation.
Upon arrival, officers conducted a safety inspection to assess the risks before proceeding. Observations confirmed that the nest belonged to ground beetles and was situated on the roof structure.
The team then initiated the destruction process using insecticide spraying methods, specifically Ridsect, to eliminate the threat.
The operation was completed efficiently, with the nest fully destroyed and no further danger detected. Civil defence officers confirmed that the procedure was carried out safely, and no injuries or unwanted incidents occurred during the intervention.
Following the successful completion of the task, all five members returned to the District Operations Control Centre (PKOD) in Serian.
The Civil Defence Force emphasised that such operations are part of their ongoing commitment to ensuring community safety and responding promptly to public concerns.
Local residents expressed relief at the swift action taken, noting that insect nests can pose risks to health and property if left unattended.
Civil defence officials reminded the public that reporting such cases early allows for faster intervention and minimises potential hazards.
Authorities also highlighted the importance of community awareness in maintaining safe living environments.
They encouraged residents to remain vigilant and to contact emergency services immediately if similar situations arise.
The Serian Civil Defence Force reaffirmed its dedication to protecting lives and property, stressing that cooperation between the public and emergency responders is vital in managing incidents effectively.
For emergencies, residents are advised to contact the Civil Defence office directly or dial 999, which connects to police, fire, hospital, and civil defence services.
