Summary:
- The National Parks Board (NParks) in Singapore has been using new tools to manage the growing population of monkeys in residential areas, including water gel guns and monkey-proof bins.
- The water gel guns are used to deter monkeys from entering residential areas by firing a harmless gel that sticks to their fur, making them uncomfortable and deterring them from returning.
- NParks also installs monkey-proof bins in estates to prevent monkeys from rummaging through trash and causing a nuisance to residents.
