[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo City in Jeollanam-do announced on the 28th that it will conduct intensive summer pest control and disinfection until next month to minimize residents' inconvenience and prepare for the summer vacation season due to the rapid increase of pests such as mosquitoes and flies caused by the rainy season and abnormal temperatures.

The city is conducting fogging and spraying disinfection throughout the entire jurisdiction during the day using vehicles, motorcycles, and about 30 personnel divided into 9 teams.

In addition, fogging disinfection is being carried out using vehicles in vulnerable areas such as garbage dumps and sewage drains, park walking trails, and rivers, and the disinfection team is immediately deployed to the requested areas upon civil complaints.

Furthermore, considering the obstruction of vehicle traffic caused by smoke from fogging, the city conducts fogging disinfection at night in outskirts such as hills and industrial complexes rather than downtown areas to ensure smooth vehicle traffic and minimize citizens' inconvenience.

A city official stated, “We will strengthen summer pest control and disinfection to create a pleasant environment and protect health,” and added, “Since pest control alone cannot completely eradicate all pests, we ask citizens to participate in removing pest habitats by cleaning up garbage around their homes and eliminating stagnant water.”
