Imsil-gun, Forest Pest Control Promotion

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil County announced that it will establish and operate the "Forest Pest Monitoring and Control Headquarters" until August 31 to proactively respond to the occurrence of invasive and sudden outbreak pests, conducting early monitoring and timely control.

The county plans to actively respond to sudden outbreak pests such as the brown-winged cicada, the flower cicada, and the American lanternfly in collaboration with the agricultural department to minimize damage. Since these pests move between farmland such as orchards and forests (parks, roadside trees, etc.) causing damage, joint control of farmland and adjacent forests is necessary for effective pest management.

To this end, the county held a "Sudden Pest Control Measures Council" on May 8 and set the joint control period until June 30, planning to cooperate with the forestry and agricultural departments for joint pest control.

In particular, the county is continuously monitoring areas where rapid spread around residential areas caused inconvenience to residents last year.

An official from Imsil County stated, "We will do our best to prevent inconvenience caused by pests on trees around residential areas and minimize damage to forests and farmland."
