Israel - Farmers Fear More Huge Locust Swarms


Shifting winds may blow millions more of the flying pests across the border; volunteers asked to look to the skies


Israel Locust Alert: 'Great Damage' In Egypt - 30 million locusts





by shortyma777


Southerly winds may blow a new swarm of locusts into the country over the weekend, farmers in Israel’s Negev feared Thursday. 

The Agriculture Ministry placed residents of Israel’s south on high alert ahead of the possible influx of a huge swarm numbering millions of individual locusts, and asked for volunteers to patrol the region to look out for the incoming pests. 

“If the winds bring the massive swarms from Egypt to here, we are going to be in big trouble,” said Yankale Moskovich, a farmer from Ramat Negev. “The best-case scenario is that all it brings us will be dust storms.”

Local residents were instructed to stay indoors and close their windows and blinds.
Israel’s spraying of agricultural fields in the south of the country Wednesday morning succeeded in grounding most of the locusts that had already made it into the country. Two planes, assisted by ground crews and trucks, sprayed with pesticides the migrating insects that had settled in the area the day before. The teams showered a swath of 1,850 acres, beginning the procedure at 6 a.m and continuing into the early afternoon.
