I suggest they pretend they are on “Naked and Afraid” and eat the grasshoppers.
Shelter in place and stick it out, you’ll be fine.
Well, we have to put on the concerts. Do you really want Bruce to have to lecture us on this?
DDT would take care of this quickly. But some shells would be soft.
“Whenever I hold back the rain or send locusts to eat up the crops or send an epidemic on my people, if they pray to me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous again.”
2 Chronicles 7: 13,14
When China had a serious rat problem, they pout out word that rats are good food and a great source of protein - maybe they should put out some good locust recipes....
They should harvest them and consume them. Message to vegans: this is better than Solient green stuff, and your veggies are the lowest rung of the consuming chain for a reason.
That locust plague in Africa would be like a plague of shrimp here. The people will chow down on them. And what a source of protien.
Why was DDT pulled off the market?
No.
Typically, I hear nothing from the un.
Not our circus, not our monkeys. Intervention by the US will bring blame and criticism. Non intervention by the US will bring blame and criticism. I vote non. Somewhere along the human timeline Africa will either stand up or continue living in third world squaller.
It’s a continent of mostly children, retarded children at that. What about North African countries, why don’t they step in for pest control?
So basically now would be a great time to deport Ilhan Omar back to Somalia?
North African countries are poor themselves. Also they are muslim so they would only care if it affected their slave trade.
Anytime is a good time for that!
It would be indeed. But will they?
Most likely, they couldn’t care less.
Oman, Somalia and Yemen, parts of which are lawless and war-torn.
They are largely the problem since they have been scare-mongering against US agribusiness there to protect their own farmers from competition.
Locusts used to do the same to the American Great Plains.
They move, like a giant combine moves across a field. They fly Hundreds of miles, feeding as they go.
Rocky Mountain locusts caused farm damage in Maine from 1743–1756 and Vermont in 1797–1798. The locusts became more of a problem in the 19th century, as farming expanded westward into the grasshoppers’ favored habitat. Outbreaks of varying severity emerged in 1828, 1838, 1846, and 1855, affecting areas throughout the West. Plagues visited Minnesota in 1856–1857 and again in 1865, and Nebraska suffered repeated infestations between 1856 and 1874.
