[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 24th that it will carry out an eco-friendly pest control lamp project to eliminate mosquitoes and other pests in livestock barns during the summer season.

This project, conducted for the third time this year, will invest 78 million won (50% self-funded) to provide about 1,000 lamps to 70 Hanwoo cattle farms in the area.

The pest control lamp is an electric lamp installed inside livestock barns that uses light wavelengths to environmentally block the entry of mosquitoes.

Unlike chemical control methods such as fogging, which have difficulties due to environmental pollution and concerns about livestock damage, the pest control lamp is a physical control device installed permanently inside barns that effectively and eco-friendly blocks mosquito entry.

Since 2018, the county has distributed lamps to 213 farms, and it is expected to help relieve livestock stress caused by summer pests such as mosquitoes and promote eco-friendly livestock farming.

A Haenam-gun official said, “To promote eco-friendly livestock farming, we will support more livestock farms with eco-friendly pest control lamps to improve the livestock environment and foster livestock farming that coexists with the local community.”
