<\/figure>Locusts do damage by eating the leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, bark and growing-points, and also by breaking down trees because of their weight when they settle in masses, and sometimes even by spoiling plants with their excrete. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Large swarms of\nlocusts can completely strip the foliage and stems of plants such as\nforbs and grasses. Some species consume a variety of plants, while others\nhave a more specific diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are as many as 80 million\nlocusts in a swarm. They wipe out massive areas and affect entire economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Locust swarms devour every crop\nin their path. Locusts eat plant material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each locust can eat its weight in plants each day, so a swarm of such size would eat 423 million pounds of plants every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nrecent months, teams have saved 600,000 hectares of vegetation and crops, says\nKeith Cressman, senior locust forecasting officer at the FAO.

According\nto the World Bank, the infestation will cost East Africa and Yemen $8.5bn this\nyear, exacerbate food insecurity and send shockwaves through the economies of\nKenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda and others.

Locusts rest on on a plant at Mendez Trace, Penal, yesterday. PHOTO BY VASHTI SINGH <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nA plague of locusts has\nswept into the village of Mendez Trace in Penal, destroying hundreds of crops\nand plants. Residents said four days ago they started seeing the locusts on\ntheir crops and the numbers increased within a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn a short time they\ndestroyed hundreds of crops,\u201d one resident said, adding that he had to run\ninside for cover,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But another man, who\nrecently moved into the area, said, \u201cSome of them even got inside our homes. We\ncould not go outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These past few days were\nsomething else. This is the first time I have experienced something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others said it was the\nsecond locust infestation within the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, these locusts are trapped using net, or insecticides are spread on crops to kill them. But how feasible are these remedies? Are they even effective? Definitely not. So what measures can be taken to keep these locusts away from your plants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Termirepel™<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>can be added to a thin agricultural film to protect plants and other crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur product available in the form of\nmasterbatch can be incorporated into polymeric applications like the tree\nguards and fences, agricultural films and mulches, irrigation pipes, etc. to\nkeep these pests away from the trees and crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints\nand be applied on the concrete fence around the gardens, farms, and buildings.\nThe liquid concentrate can be applied to the interior and exterior of storage\nrooms used to store grains and other agricultural produce, building structures,\netc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The product available in the form of lacquer\ncan be used as a direct application and can be applied on the tree trunks,\nwooden fences around trees, crops, and farms, already installed pipes and\npolymeric parts from agricultural equipment like motors, tractors, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
