Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia where swarms are forming
A good aerial spraying with DDT would take care of that.

Oh, wait....

#9 LOL! Good one, Barbara!

"A good aerial spraying with DDT would take care of that."
We can't do that! Didn't you read Silent Spring???

Why, I remember it well - sniff, sniff - that sping when all the birds disappeared. Followed by all other species, except humanus pseudo-scientus bullshitus, of course. It's been lonely in the forest since then. Not to mention giving Ship's (now extinct) dogs nothing to do. We were warned. Sad.

ZF - moo shu locust, yumm! Lol!!!

#10 The Australian Plague Locust Control Commission uses a mix of fenitrothion (an organophosphate) ans fipronil, in very low concentration- very short lived in the environment. They also spray with a fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, for pictures of the result google up the commision website.
Amazing critters, locusts. In 97 I had about 6 weeks convalescing to do during an (Australian) locust plague. So I dragged my swag out on the lawn and watched them close up. Every few days they would start a new phase of their life cycle and change size, form, colour, and behaviour.
And the lawn looked a treat- never neater.
