As Geoff Lawton says in his Permaculture Food Forest DVD, "If you have a plague of grasshoppers you ACTUALLY have a deficiency of turkeys". A 1kg turkey will eat 3kg of grasshoppers in a season. Locusts and Grasshoppers are ideal prey for the ground bird habitat. Skip the chemicals and you'll get some great birds to eat for Christmas! Yum!

The most successful locust killing pesticides are in the organphosphate family. Good luck, mate. You're almost better off grabbing a vat of chocolate and a butterfly net and dipping the little blighters after you catch them.
