Abstract
People, businesses, and industries often claim that their facilities can help preserve the environment, while local authorities generally champion the role of local environmental control for securing nuisance control actions. An insect nuisance is recognized as a significant contributor to unhealthful annoyance or significant disturbance to the public's wellbeing and the enjoyment of their property. When any insects from attractants emanating from people houses and commercial or industrial premises and being prejudicial to health or a nuisance, municipal authorities must go beyond statutory compliance with environmental safeguards for wellbeing and improve the healthy environment inherent in legal regimes will capture greater environmental benefits and reduce fewer risks from sources of insect attractants.
This paper focuses on identifying a comparative perspective on English and Thai laws, highlighting the legal action against the nuisance of both jurisdictions, to lay a foundation for comparing the English and Thai law approaches. Through a documentary review of English and Thai statutes, this paper investigates these approaches reveals significant differences between English and Thai law. This paper addresses the topic in the combination of preventive measures for insect nuisance and statutory insect nuisance controls, specifically, duties of the municipal authorities for investigating complaints and taking actions dedicated to statutory compliance. This paper explores comparative ways in which ideas from English law that could be applied to improve the effectiveness of laws designed to prevent and remedy insect nuisance situations in Thailand and across its local municipalities. Finally, this paper demonstrates either a lack of terminology of insect nuisance in the Thai legal system or unclarified explanation of the legal insect nuisance context.
