Mosquito breeding, can result in fines amounting to thousands of ringgit, repeatedly may cause project management process to halt.
Construction sites are perfect for pests to thrive and breed, plenty of places to nest, breed, and accessible to food source. Pest infestations can cause structural damage, harm materials, and pose health and safety risks for workers.
