Where Phu My Hung is, and which wards it belongs to now
Phu My Hung is a 433-hectare urban area in the former District 7 of Ho Chi Minh City, planned for about 100,000 residents around Nguyen Van Linh, Nguyen Luong Bang and Ton Dat Tien. When Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 took effect on 1 July 2025, districts gave way to wards, the city's local administrative unit, and the area's two wards, Tan Phu and Tan Phong, became part of Tan My and Tan Hung.
We survey for rodents in both wards on a regular schedule, every day from 07:00 to 20:00.
- Villas and townhouses
- My Kim, My Thai, Nam Vien and the rows around Crescent Lake.
- Apartments
- In Tan My: Phu My Hung Midtown, Scenic Valley, Riverpark Premier, Hung Phuc Premier. In Tan Hung: Sky Garden, Happy Valley, Sunrise City.
- Shophouses and offices
- Ground floors on the three main streets, and shops inside apartment developments.
Plenty of trees, water close by: the three routes rodents take
Phu My Hung stands on the low land south of the city. Nguoi Do Thi magazine (2023) notes that it floods rarely because of how it was planned: tide gates, a building density below 30% and roughly 8.9 m² of greenery for each resident. Two of the three rodents below use those trees and that water as their way in.
- Elongated droppings scattered along wall bases, in kitchen cabinets and in the storeroom.
- Noise in the ceiling or walls after lights-out; dark smears on door edges where the animals brush past.
- Along branches: the roof rat
- Slim, long-tailed, a good climber; a branch on the roof or a cable carries it to a metal roof, a roof terrace or a plasterboard ceiling. The developer calls Nam Vien the green core of the urban area, so low-rise homes there are checked for branches that reach the roof or a balcony.
- Along drains: the sewer rat
- Large and heavy, good at swimming and digging. It comes up into the yard, the laundry area and the ground-floor bathroom from sewers and drain pits, most often in townhouses and villas near canals. Crescent Lake, Kenh Te canal and small creeks lie in and around the urban area.
- With deliveries: the house mouse
- Tiny enough for a very narrow gap; it nests in kitchen cabinets, beneath appliances and in service ducts, even high up in apartment towers.
Villas and townhouses in My Kim, My Thai and Nam Vien: surveyed from the yard inwards
Many villas and townhouses here have been lived in for ten or fifteen years, and a good number of families have since changed the kitchen or replaced floors. Each round of work can leave an unfilled hole through a wall or a drain-pit cover askew, so your Up specialist walks the whole yard before going indoors:
- Outside: drain-pit covers and drain openings; branches near the roof or a balcony; the eaves; the gap beneath the garage door and the back kitchen door; vents with no mesh.
- Indoors: holes where aircon pipes, water pipes and conduit cross a wall; the service-duct door; the ceiling access hatch.
- Noise in the ceiling at night
- Note the room and the hour, and put no bait up there. Our technicians look through the access hatch, find the way up and usually use mechanical traps, so that nothing dies out of sight.
- What we seal
- Gaps that mesh, a cover or common filler can close are priced in the quote and sealed by our specialists. Cutting, masonry and structural work is only recorded, for you to choose a builder.
Apartments and the shops beneath them: mice, service shafts and building management
A good number of developments here have shops at their foot: Sky Garden 3 with 56, Happy Valley with 23, Riverpark Premier with 13 commercial units and Scenic Valley 2 with a commercial podium from the ground to the fourth floor, according to press reports and the developer. The rodent usually found in an apartment is the house mouse, which arrives with goods or follows the service shafts between floors.
- Inside the apartment
- We check the kitchen cabinets, the spaces beneath appliances and the service-duct door, then seal ordinary gaps and set traps.
- Outside it
- Holes in a corridor or shared shaft belong to no single unit. They go on a list for you to raise with building management.
- Shophouses, shops and offices
- Traps are checked at quiet hours. A shop with a home above shares one plan and one map. Factories and warehouses need a separate survey first.
Several generations, small children, pets: where traps and stations go
Scenic Valley was presented as a home for families of several generations, and children and pets are part of many households here. Say so at the survey: our technicians base the layout on who lives in the home.
- Mechanical traps
- The familiar choice for kitchens, ceilings and indoor storerooms: the animal is caught on the spot, and traps are looked at on the agreed dates.
- Lockable bait stations
- Closed boxes with a locked lid, set beside boundary walls, around the house and near service equipment. The bait stays in the box, out of reach of small children and pets.
- Map and monitoring
- Your Up Report shows each trap, station and sealed point. After every check they are moved or added to as fresh traces suggest, until no activity remains.
- Your part
- Leave the stations closed and where they are, and tell us immediately if a pet behaves oddly.
Where the figure in a Phu My Hung rodent quote comes from
We have no price list for rodent control. A Sky Garden flat with mice in the kitchen cabinets and a Nam Vien villa with rats in both the ceiling and the drains need very different plans, so the first step is a free survey. The written all-inclusive quote then lists the points to seal, the traps and bait stations, the return checks and the warranty terms; any later change needs your written agreement.
| Factor | How it affects the quote |
|---|---|
| The home | Its size and number of floors; whether there is a garden or basement; metal roof or plasterboard ceiling. |
| Ways in | The number and kind of gaps, and which of them must go to another contractor. |
| Activity | Many rodents or few, and so how many times the traps must be revisited. |
| Warranty | It varies with the plan and is set out in the quote; read what it says about gaps left open. |
Clean-up, building rules, international residents and booking
- Droppings and smells
- Droppings and urine are wetted first and only then wiped; dry sweeping or vacuuming sends dirt into the air. That is the advice of the CDC, the US public-health agency: gloves, disinfectant solution, time to soak, disposable cloths. A remaining smell mostly comes from a carcass or nest: where reachable it is removed and the odour treated at the root; a ceiling panel is lifted only if you agree.
- Building rules
- Towers here usually want residents to register outside staff beforehand, and some restrict construction-type work, sealing included, at weekends.
- In English
- Many international families live in Phu My Hung. Enquiries, quotes, booking confirmations and the Up Report can all be in English; for an English-speaking specialist on site, add a note when booking, and if we cannot arrange one we tell you ahead of time.
- Booking, keys, payment
- Call or message 0968 726 135 (WhatsApp or Zalo) with photos of the traces. If you are away, the key can stay with building management or a representative. You pay after the walk-through, in cash or by transfer. Rescheduling is free more than 24 hours ahead; after that the cancellation fee is 30%.
