Guro-gu River and Park 'Insect Repellent Dispenser' Operation Starts at 18 Locations

One Insect Repellent Sprayer Relocated and Five New Sprayers Installed at Cheonwangsan, Guro-ri Children's Park, and More
- A Total of 18 Sprayers Operated from April to November to Prevent Mosquito- and Tick-borne Infectious Diseases

Guro-gu (Mayor Jang In-hong) announced that it has relocated one insect repellent sprayer and completed the installation of five additional sprayers along streams and parks to ensure safe and pleasant outdoor activities for residents.

With the summer season approaching and the risk of mosquito- and tick-borne infectious diseases expected to increase due to outdoor activities such as walking and exercising, as well as climate change, the district installed additional insect repellent sprayers in locations easily accessible to many residents.

The installation sites include △ Deokui Neighborhood Park △ Samgak Children's Park △ Entrance to the circulation path of Cheonwangsan and Sungkonghoe University △ Guro-ri Children's Park △ Mirae Sarang Children's Park △ Sindorim Dorimcheon embankment path, totaling six locations.

Among these, the insect repellent sprayer installed on the Sindorim Dorimcheon embankment path was relocated following the remodeling of the Sindorim Observatory on the Anyangcheon Cherry Blossom Path.

The district plans to operate the sprayers from this month through November, which is the active period for harmful insects.

The insect repellent sprayers are available for use by any residents utilizing these locations. Spraying on outerwear or mats, excluding the face and neck, can prevent insect approach for 3 to 4 hours.

Additionally, the district will continuously check the proper functioning of the insect repellent sprayers to ensure residents can safely enjoy outdoor activities.

Mayor Jang In-hong of Guro-gu said, "We hope residents enjoy safe outdoor activities free from mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects through the proper use of the insect repellent sprayers," adding, "We will continue to do our best to prevent infectious diseases."
