TC: Pesticide sprayed and branches pruned to curb caterpillar infestation at Jalan Rajah

Tanjong Pagar Town Council says they have sprayed pesticide and pruned the branches of the affected trees to curb the caterpillar infestation at Jalan Rajah.

In a post dated Sept 16, a STOMPer wrote in saying that caterpillar droppings are always falling from the trees in the open air car park at Jalan Rajah, thus the residents there have to wash their cars daily as the droppings will get stuck to the surface.

In an email to STOMP today (Sept 17), a spokesperson from Tanjong Pagar Town Council says:

"We wish to thank STOMPer for the feedback on the caterpillars infestation at the carpark of Block 102 Jalan Rajah.

"On Sept 14, our contractor sprayed pesticides and pruned the branches of the affected trees.

"We will monitor the situation closely."

Caterpillar droppings are always falling from the trees in the open air car park at Jalan Rajah, thus the residents there have to wash their cars daily as the droppings will get stuck to the surface.

A frustrated STOMPer says:

"The middle divider trees in the open air car park at Block 102, Jalan Rajah are infested with caterpillars.

"Every day, car owners have to wash their cars because the droppings from the worms will drop and stick onto the cars.

"I have feedbacked to the Tanjong Pagar Town Council and they promised to fix the problem by Sep 15.

"But so far, no action have been taken by them."
