Homeowner baffled as ten monkeys invade property, sparking debate on deterrents from tiger statues to official wildlife intervention.
MONKEYS breaking into residential homes are becoming an increasingly familiar nuisance for some homeowners, with a viral CCTV clip on Threads showing an entire troop treating private property as if it were their own territory.
The issue was highlighted by Threads user @faizolazhar, who shared a nine-second CCTV recording captured from his home’s porch.
The footage showed more than 10 monkeys roaming around the property near a parked car. Several could also be seen climbing the gate and moving around the vehicle area.
Accompanying the video, the user wrote: “I’m always seeing other people’s houses getting raided. This time, it’s my own house. How am I supposed to deal with this?”
The post reflected his frustration, as the incident appeared to be less of an isolated case and more of a recurring problem in certain residential areas.
While the video itself highlighted the scale of the intrusion, the user’s comments suggested that such “raids” are not uncommon, pointing to a pattern of repeated wildlife visits rather than a one-off occurrence.
Public responses quickly poured in, with users offering a mixture of advice and humorous suggestions.
User @_dahliakesuma proposed an unconventional deterrent, commenting: “Put up a tiger statue with a realistic-looking face. Not only will the monkeys run away, people might too.”
Others pointed towards official channels, with user @jjstyleofficial advising: “Call PERHILITAN.”
This sentiment was echoed by user @issam.cafe, who also urged the homeowner to report the matter to the relevant authorities for intervention.
More speculative home remedies also emerged. User @aryffstyles noted that monkeys are naturally afraid of snakes and suggested using large snake replicas, while user @lizaliez_ mentioned the possibility of using tiger urine repellent to keep the animals away.
Not all responses focused on solutions, however, as several residents shared their own frustrating encounters.
User @joy_us94 described how monkeys had previously damaged outdoor Wi-Fi cables at their home, while user @azlina.saadan recalled a group that once rummaged through rubbish bins before eventually being driven away.
The incident has reignited discussion about the growing interaction between wildlife and residential communities, with some residents calling for greater intervention to address recurring monkey intrusions.
