The first area was identified as part of Gyeongnam, and it attracted the attention of experts through reports of crop damage by local residents.

Along with the rapid response of local governments, experts are making efforts to investigate the characteristics of bed bugs in the early stages of the outbreak and guide local residents on how to deal with them.

Bed bugs are found in many places, especially in Gyeongnam, Jeonnam, and Jeju. It has been found not only on agricultural land but also in urban areas, raising concerns among residents.

The route and propagation mechanism of movement so far have not yet been fully elucidated, but close monitoring is being conducted mainly by the government and local governments.

The large-scale emergence of bedbugs is having a fatal impact on agriculture and ecosystems. Bedbugs destroy soil and damage crops, reducing agricultural productivity.

In particular, economic losses caused by crop damage are increasing significantly, and the spread of bedbugs is negatively affecting urban life as well as rural areas.

A multifaceted approach is needed to effectively respond to bedbugs. In addition to chemical control, it is important to limit the reproduction of bedbugs by introducing ecological solutions.

Education on how to prevent and cope with bedbugs should be strengthened for local residents, and cooperation between agricultural organizations and the government should be strengthened.

In addition, it is necessary to quickly establish a compensation system for affected farms to maintain a sustainable agricultural environment.

Korea is facing an agricultural and environmental crisis due to the occurrence of many bedbugs. However, it is expected that this problem can be overcome through appropriate response and cooperation.

Efforts of citizens, the government, and local governments should be carried out in harmony, and sustainable measures should be prioritized.
