Yeonggwang-gun Conducts 'Disinfection' for Harmful Pest Control

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 26th that it will intensively conduct daytime and nighttime disinfection this month to control harmful pests and prevent infectious diseases during the summer season.

The county has completed inspection of 187 disinfection equipment units in towns and villages, and organized a voluntary disinfection team consisting of village chiefs and public officials to conduct disinfection at least once a week to reduce the density of sanitary pests.

Summer disinfection will focus on vulnerable areas such as densely populated residential areas, parks, riversides, livestock farms, public facilities, and tourist sites, conducting adult pest control through fogging and mist spraying.

Eco-friendly microbial agents will be sprayed in sewers, septic tanks, and rivers to simultaneously carry out larval pest control disinfection.

Disinfection and sterilization are also being conducted at multi-use facilities such as bus terminals and public restrooms to prevent COVID-19, and diluted disinfection agents for residents' self-disinfection are distributed at health centers and town offices.

Additionally, every Wednesday is designated and promoted as "Indoor Disinfection Day" to encourage voluntary disinfection practices among local residents.

Yoon Jeonghee, director of the health center, said, "We plan to do our best to prevent infectious disease outbreaks through thorough summer disinfection," adding, "Since it is difficult to completely eradicate sanitary pests such as mosquitoes and flies that cause infectious diseases with only health center disinfection, we ask each household to participate in personal disinfection by removing stagnant water breeding sites around their homes."
