  1. Try searching the forums for springtails and booklice - these are apparently common problems found in most new HDB flats. Probably HDB not testing the plastering so the eggs are being carried everywhere. I have experience with booklice and I'm rarely seeing them now after intensive spraying of Bio-X Lullaby. Search along the skirtings, corners, under objects and near objects with starch/glue (bookshelves etc) and toilets - these are where they usually congregate.
  2. Hi Tim, Can I confirm that you are still under Imperial Distributors? Thanks!
  3. Hi Tim, I smsed you this morning (Saturday) about the leak in my air con unit in the living room. Would appreciate a quick servicing of it please. Thanks much!
  4. Does nel have any references? We've had some bad experiences and don't want to repeat them.
  5. I have a problem with them - they're called booklice. Go to Home fixit or Self DIY (one of the chain DIY shops) and buy Bio-X Lullaby/D'Bug. It's safe for animals and babies and is used to deter/kill bedbugs and spray them everywhere you see these bugs. Essentially, anything that can kill bed bugs can kill these insects. This is the safest and cleanest product I've found so far. The main problem with these bugs are that they eat mold and starch and thrive in humid environments (i.e. Singapore), and usually hide in inaccessible areas to give birth. You might need to spray quite a lot of surface area for the bugs to be fully controlled (not removed). One other way is to dehumidify the area - I had them in my kitchen and I put a powerful dehumidifier inside and sealed it for 8 hours. 8 hours later, I noticed them all over the floor outside the kitchen. At first I was devastated because I thought they had spread, but after a while I realised they were escaping from the kitchen because it was too dry inside. This method might not be useful for the living room though, since it's much bigger. I've written to the Town Council about them before, but they couldn't do anything besides fumigation (which is useless since it's outside). If you have a serious problem, chances are your neighbours have them as well.
  6. If the trunking is hidden in a false ceiling, how much additional would it cost usually? Or would we need to get contractors to remove the false ceiling ( ) to put in new piping?
