A park has been inaugurated in Beijing, specifically in the Mentougou district, claiming to be the first mosquito-free space thanks to the implementation of smart traps and the use of mint.
This pilot program aims to reduce the presence of mosquitoes, which in recent years has been responsible for outbreaks of dengue and chikungunya in the country.
