Locust Swarm Hits Southern Illinois and Missouri Orchards
A large outbreak of periodical cicadas, the 17 year variety, spread through Cape Girardeau and adjoining counties in Missouri and into Anna Jonesboro and Carbondale in Illinois. Extension agent A. D. Arnhardt said orchards face major damage as eggs hatch and larvae feed near tree roots. J. N. Cummins noted the insects appear locally, not from Missouri, and that tetraethyl pyrophosphate has been effective but dangerous to handle. The five day window after emergence is critical for control.
