District to Operate Eco-Friendly Sanitary Pest Sprayers at 246 Locations from May... Two Mobile Sanitary Pest Sprayers Prepared for Year-Round Rental... 17 Additional Sprayers to Be Installed in May Along Uicheon Stream, Dooly Museum Trail, and Banghak Sagye Plaza

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) has taken active measures to eradicate sanitary pests as the mosquito activity period has advanced due to rising spring temperatures.

The district will operate sanitary pest insecticides early from May to ensure a pleasant living environment and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Sanitary pest insecticides are eco-friendly control devices that use the wavelength of light favored by pests such as mosquitoes to lure and trap them inside the device without using chemical substances.

From May 4 to October 31, the district will operate 'sanitary pest insecticides' at 246 locations within the area, including Jungnangcheon Stream, Uicheon Stream, and parks, which residents mainly use for leisure activities.

This is the largest installation nationwide and is expected not only to prevent infectious diseases transmitted by sanitary pests in advance but also to reduce pests that bother people during outdoor activities.

In particular, the district has prepared two 'mobile sanitary pest insecticides' for residents, institutions, and organizations that need them during outdoor events, which can be rented year-round. Those wishing to rent can apply to the district's Health and Hygiene Division.

Additionally, the district will promote the installation of insect repellent devices in Banghak 1-dong Banghak Sagye Square and the Ssangmun 1-dong local resting area, projects funded by the 2020 resident participation budget.

In mid-May, 17 additional sanitary pest insecticides will be installed along the Uicheon Stream, Dooly Museum walking trail, and Banghak Sagye Square.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu stated, “By operating eco-friendly insecticides early in places frequently used by residents, we will effectively eliminate pests that cause various infectious diseases so that residents can enjoy safe and pleasant leisure activities.”
