Fuzhou News Network, July 2 (Fuzhou Evening News reporter Shen Zhe/ Wen Yangyong / photo) In the past few days, the caterpillar flooding in the Guling scenic spot has attracted the attention of many citizens. Yesterday morning, the Guling Tourist Resort Management Committee commissioned the control company to carry out the second large-scale elimination of caterpillars.
Compared with the situation that the reporter saw at the scene for the first time on the 21st of last month, the number of caterpillars in the scenic spot yesterday was significantly reduced.
The staff of the scenic spot management committee said that at present, the insect pests occur on the side of the highway and have not affected the scenic spots in the scenic spot, and the public does not have to worry about the impact of travel.
At about 8 o'clock yesterday, workers of the prevention and control company sprayed medicine on the willow fir trees on the side of the road from 12 kilometers of the Gu'e Highway. Scenic area staff set up warning signs on the spray road section to remind passing vehicles to drive carefully, and at the same time arrange for people to guide traffic.
The reporter learned at the scene that the killing adopted a combination of powder spraying and spraying to ensure that the drug can cover the pest area to the greatest extent.
The agent used this time is also the most advanced biological agent for such insect pests, and will only play a role in the willow fir caterpillar in the scenic area, while other organisms such as bees, birds and fish will not be affected by the drug.
At the scene, many citizens covered their noses when passing by, worried that the drugs were toxic and would cause harm to the human body. In response to this, a staff member of the killing company said that this kind of agent will not cause harm to the human body, and tourists should not worry about it.
