Grasshopper menace trials in Western Australia eye aerial baiting
The Western Australia Department of Agriculture will watch grasshopper control experiments with interest across agricultural districts. At Guildford airport last week tests dropped baits from a plane to find optimal height and wind effects. While encouraging, further trials are needed, and broadcasters may offer a more direct approach. Substantial funding is sought to thoroughly test aerial baiting, with lessons from South Africa guiding a localized farmer driven effort and penalties for non reporting locust sightings.
