The county received positive evaluations in the satisfaction survey for the operation of the Eup-Myeon Autonomous Pest Control Team, which was first conducted in 2024. In 2025, the team plans to expand from 20 teams to 25 teams (12 in Goseong-eup and 13 in Myeon) to provide pest control services that are even closer to the residents.

Accordingly, the county plans to add five new areas in Goseong-eup that were not organized last year: Giwol-ri, Gyosa-ri, Muryang-ri, Yuldae-ri, and Sinwol-ri.

The Autonomous Pest Control Team carries out activities such as pest control disinfection in vulnerable areas where vehicle disinfection is difficult about twice a week, removal of pest habitats, and larval control.

To ensure smooth operation of the Autonomous Pest Control Team, the county supports △ provision of disinfectants △ pest control sprayers △ accident insurance enrollment △ activity compensation.

Eligibility for participation includes residents and organizations living in the respective Eup or Myeon. Residents (or organizations) wishing to participate can inquire at their respective Eup or Myeon office.

Shim Yoon-kyung, Director of the Health Center, said, “The Autonomous Pest Control Team, based on a spirit of volunteerism, is a helper in creating a social atmosphere of cooperation while protecting residents' health,” adding, “We will do our best in pest control projects through public-private cooperation to prevent infectious diseases and ensure a healthy and pleasant living environment.”

Meanwhile, the Health Center will organize the Eup-Myeon Autonomous Pest Control Team in February and conduct full-scale activities for about six months from May to October.
