Natural Hazards to a Swiftlet House (Part 1)

燕屋的天敵 (1)

Pests like cockroaches are a huge detriment to a Swiftlet House. Cockroaches are destructive insects which will gnaw at the nests of the swiftlets, leading to holes in the nests. This damages the nests and cause economic losses.

害蟲會對燕屋有害。蟑螂會咬蝕燕窩,造成燕窩有洞。燕窩遭損壞,也會造成經濟損失。



 As a side note, the presence of cockroaches in the Swiftlet House will also cause a disturbance to the closely monitored atmosphere, smell and environment in the house. This may affect the attractiveness of the House and swiftlets may not return to the House.

蟑螂的存在也會影響燕屋裡頭的環境。味道,衛生和環境被影響後,可能影響到燕子回來的過程。


This unfortunate swiftlet has been hurt and lies injured from a rat bite.
燕子被老鼠咬後,已經死亡了。


This swiftlet has perished in its own nest after a rat bite. The rat has attacked the swiftlet from the roof.
老鼠也會從屋頂攻擊燕子,燕子已經在窩裡被咬死了。


Here is another unfortunate victim of a rat bite.
這也是老鼠攻擊的受害者。

Constant supervision and maintenance is key to ensure the swiftlets are protected from these natural hazards.
我們必須持續監督與檢查燕屋裡的清潔與狀態,防止害蟲,老鼠的侵襲。
