Pest control in District 9 — Long Binh, Long Truong, Long Phuoc

District 9 has changed on paper twice: on 1 January 2021 it became part of Thu Duc City, and on 1 July 2025 Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 cut its thirteen wards to five. Wards have replaced districts, so your contract, title deed and utility bills may show different names; any will do.

All five wards are in our survey area, 07:00 to 20:00 daily. Stretching from the Hanoi Highway to the Dong Nai River, the area is not on our regular schedule, so the date is fixed once our technician team is arranged.

Long Binh ward

The old Long Binh and the part of Long Thanh My that did not go to Tang Nhon Phu. Most of Vinhomes Grand Park is here: apartment towers, low-rise townhouses and shophouses.

Tang Nhon Phu ward

Hiep Phu, Tan Phu, Tang Nhon Phu A and B and part of Long Thanh My: townhouses on Le Van Viet and Do Xuan Hop, and rooms and flats let around the Hi-Tech Park.

Phuoc Long ward

The old Phuoc Long A, Phuoc Long B and Phuoc Binh: townhouses and long-established alleys bordering the former District 2.

Long Truong ward

The old Long Truong and Phu Huu: gated townhouse and villa projects and newer housing along Nguyen Duy Trinh.

Long Phuoc ward

The old Long Phuoc and Truong Thanh: scattered garden homes with fruit trees, ponds and wide porches facing the Dong Nai River.

Former District 9 covers almost 114 km² and is far less densely settled than the inner districts; most of its open land was orchards and fields. Townhouses and new urban areas now stand right beside the gardens that remain, and in Long Truong and Long Phuoc a new house often borders a neighbour's orchard. Near the Dong Nai River the ground stays damp almost all year.

Heat, humidity and the May-to-November rains favour insects, above all around gardens and water. Termites have their own service; this page covers the rest, in these usual settings:

• Homes a few years old with a kitchen in daily use.
• New homes beside an orchard or empty plot.
• Weekend garden homes by the river.
• Rooms let to one tenant after another.
• Shops and offices needing a regular programme.

Termite control

Mud tubes, hollow timber or winged termites: survey, treatment and follow-ups.

The survey establishes the species, its spread and its source before any method is discussed. Our technicians handle every product as the label and regulations require; your Up specialist, the UpClean staff member assigned to your home, prepares, stays throughout, cleans up and writes the Up Report, a photo record sent by WhatsApp or Zalo.

High-rise flats

Grain-like cockroach droppings in drawers, behind the fridge and under the sink; ant trails around sweet food. Worktop ants are foragers, so the trail is followed back to the nest in a wall gap, duct or socket.

Townhouses and villas

Checked floor by floor: ceilings and service ducts for rodents, gaps around drain pipes, drain covers and vents for cockroaches.

Shophouses, shops and cafés

A scheduled programme: frequency proposed by the technicians, visits outside opening hours, each Up Report kept on file.

Offices near the Hi-Tech Park

Surveyed at a change of tenant or on a schedule; pantries and toilets recorded separately.

Factories and warehouses

Separate survey; outside the scope of this page.

Many of these riverside homes, with wide grounds, fruit trees and ponds, are used only at weekends. For mosquitoes outdoors our technicians usually choose space spraying over lawn and shrubs, together with clearing standing water. For ants and rodents, bait, bait stations, traps and sealing gaps come first, to keep chemical use down.

• The survey covers the house, porch, tool shed and nearby garden.
• Outdoor bait stations and traps are marked in the Up Report so the gardener leaves them alone.
• Pets and poultry are kept away for the time given; mention any pond or fish tank.
• For a weekend home, book before the family returns, allowing for the re-entry time in the plan.
• Weekly, or whenever you are back, empty plant saucers, gutters and yard buckets.

Mosquito control

For gardens and ponds, with standing water cleared.

Rodent control

Finding the way in, traps and secure bait stations.

Around the Hi-Tech Park and Le Van Viet, many homes and rooms are let to engineers and specialists on short or medium contracts. When occupants change, check mattresses, sofas and second-hand wooden furniture: bed bugs leave brown spots along the mattress edge and bites in a line; woodworm leaves small round holes and fine powder.

Rows of rental rooms

Scheduled row by row around tenants' shifts; belongings photographed as found.

A flat between leases

Empty rooms give easy access to beds, sofas and cabinets; the Up Report can join the handover file.

Bed bug and flea control

Treatment goes with washing and steaming of fabrics, as the technicians advise.

A rental room and a garden home's grounds are very different jobs, so there is no list price. After the free survey, a written all-inclusive quote states the method, the re-entry time (how long to keep out of a treated area), follow-up inspections and warranty terms; changes need your written confirmation. It reflects:

• The pest, how many species are treated at once and how far they have spread.
• A one-off treatment, or a scheduled programme.
• The property type and floors, and any garden, pond or basement.
• Whether work falls within or outside business or office hours.
• The covering and cleaning done by your Up specialist.
• Warranty: the period and scope depend on the plan and are written into the quote.

Large urban areas and gated projects in District 9 are mostly run by a management office with rules on visitor registration and service hours. We send your Up specialist's name and photo and our technicians' details in advance so you can register the visit; the written plan states where treatment happens and how long to keep away.

• Store food, dishes and pans in closed cupboards; close rice bins and water containers.
• Young children, pregnant women, older people, pets and caged birds stay out until the re-entry time has passed; put toys and bottles away.
• Cover fish tanks and ask whether to switch off the air pump.
• Mention asthma, allergies or respiratory conditions before the plan is agreed.
• Afterwards, ventilate as instructed, leave treated surfaces unwashed and bait stations in place; more ants near bait for a while is normal.
