Best weapon to kill a swarm of insects going after you?
>>64765150probably tesla coil
And people wonder why we started putting pesticides on everything.
>>64765158Only degenerate city folk do.
>>64765150A swarm of birds.
If only there was some domestic animal that loved eating bugs and tastes great themselves.
>>64765168Can they eat 100 million flying grasshoppers before said grasshoppers eat all your grain and seeds and starves your community to death?
>>64765169>100 millionOh, that's just a tiny one. They'll be fine.
>>64765171Thats just for your farm. The neighboring farmlands each also has 100 million per. When you take your cock out for a piss it flies to your pee hole to drink straight from the hole.
>>64765150All I see is lots of clean protein. Eat ze bugs
>>64765169Yeah, those shits are ALWAYS hungry, the only time it stop eating is when it goes to sleep
>>64765245It cant eat fast enough to save your crops, retard.
bugs wont know what hit em
>>64765272they can if they are constantly on the field and if all other farmers around it does the same, you basically controlled the locust population and managed to control the damage on your crops just by using chickens, on top of that you can sell the eggs of the chickens to make up the lost crops from the leftover locust swarms, retard.
>>64765150>what SINISTER food choice do locust turn to...Why is a crop evil just because its the victim of locust?What.
>>64765150FlamethrowersFlock of birdsLots of wasps and spiders
>>64765158>startedStarted when anon?
>>64765150man all that free protein just flying away
just gather a thousand hungry chinks and the locusts will be history
>Millions of sparrows were killed.[37] While the campaign was meant to increase yields, concurrent droughts and floods as well as the lacking sparrow population decreased rice yields.[38][39] The extermination of sparrows upset the ecological balance, which subsequently resulted in surging locust and insect populations that destroyed crops due to a lack of a natural predator.[40][41]>With no sparrows to eat them, locust populations ballooned, swarming the country and compounding the ecological problems already caused by the Great Leap Forward, including widespread deforestation and misuse of poisons and pesticides.[39] Although sparrows were removed from the Four Pests in 1960, the disruption of ecological balance, combined with errors in food distribution policies and the exaggeration of crop production figures, led to the Great Chinese Famine.[42][43][44][45]And this massive famine lead, of course, to the chinks devouring themselves (decisive victory). Nature is beautiful in its justice, always restoring the balance.

Couldn't you set up a massive firewall in front of them?
>>64765461>set up 2mi long, 50ft tall firewall>fry up maybe 10k of the more retarded locusts>the rest of the several billion strong swarm fly up to 65ft and/or go aroundboy that was usefulalternatively>set up same firewall>they come from a different directionare you starting to see the problem
>>64765150Bic lighter and a can of hair spray. Duh.Tell me you're not GenX without telling me you're not GenX
>>64765173You'll pay extra for that, downtown.
>>64765272It eats them before they get to that point, reducing the size of the swarm. What you lose in grain you'll hopefully make up in poultry and eggs. You can get fucked still, but i certainly helps. Also, the chickenshit is good for the plants.
didnt the chinese incentivise their farmers to kill songbirds due to some superstition and it ended up backfiring on them because the insect population got out of control?i remember some wiki article about millions of chinese peasants starving to death because the harvests of entire years basically got eaten by swarms of insects.
Mass starvation is a natural cycle and impeding has had devastating consequences for mankind.Do not intervene.
>>64765168All your birds would just fly aways city bo!
>>64765461Just burn the crops for the win!
>>64765820What's hair spray?
>>64765346Locusts are normaly grasshoppers, but the overpopulation and lack of food causes metamorphosis into the armored locust, they then swarm and eat everything, they will attempt to chew everything, they are cannibals. The cannibalism is the "sinister" part of locusts.
>>64765990yes, part of the great leap forwardhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward#Famineit was of course covered up
100,000 clones of 12 year-old pyromaniac me with magnifying glasses and an unlimited supply of firecrackers.
>>64765452The bug question is if there would be any serious downsides like this if we tried to exterminate locusts.
>>64765150Drones which shred them with propeller blades: https://tornyol.com/
>>64765150Exclude the majority of them from your crop with hoop row covers and netting. Put your chickens under the row covers to eat the ones that crawl though the seams, and use more of the netting to collect hundreds of lbs of land-shrimp to feast on immediately. Tacos de Chapolines anyone?
>>64765150the tinfoil hats won't like it, but pesticides are the only solution in this scenario if you don't have a physical barrier
>>64765990>didnt the chinese incentivise their farmers to kill songbirds due to some superstitionSparrows eat grain, so the government figured they could increase grain yield by exterminating them and similar bird species, not realizing they also control other pests. And population density is a really fucking big deal with locusts because if you don't have very many of them they just behave like normal grasshoppers. The swarming behavior is triggered when nymphs are physically rubbing up against each other, which changes how they mature. If you take away their predators it turns into a self-reinforcing cycle until the swarms run out of food and the population crashes.
>>64765150Some biological agent. A fungus or virus that infects grasshoppers.
>>64765161>farmers don't use pesticidesAnon I...
>>64766136The Rocky Mountain Locust was exterminated accidentally by settlers in the late 1800s, and while it probably contributed to the decline of the prairie chickens and other native species, there wasn't much discernible impact.
>>64766025WD40 but for hair
>>64766144pesticides have contributed to uncontrolled population explosions in Africa creating unsustainable societiespesticide is an overused weapon
>>64765160I think it's more that they put pesticide on jews.
>>64765150Are those things edible? If they are, that looks like a lot of free food for the degenerates who eat bugs.
>>64766666We should start using Africides then
>>64765168this, or ducks
>>64766215>Locusts only turn evil at critical massHuh. I had no idea, that's fucking weird.
>>64765237>>64765399>>64766143>>64766680hmmmm
>>64766931>a giant swarm of bugs has eaten all my crops.>Will I, a dirt farming negro, eat ze bugs?>Nah, mothafucka, this is what the globalists desire! I will starve out of pride until food aid is provided!Hmm, indeed.
>>64765150Sparrows
>>64766931People always say that shit but ignore that bugs are garbage tier protein with fuckall in BCAAs. That shit only shows up in meat, and bugs don't have meat, aka muscle, their bodies are basically a series of tubes filled with goo.
>>64767349This post has hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.
>>64765150i know birds also eat grains etc but couldn't you have some kind of mass breeding program and let the birds hunt the insects preferably before they swarm?
Still asking myself what the fuck the drive mechanism was for the evolution of locust swarming behaviour.It's one of those things that make me wonder if/how many times evolution has been tampered with.
>>64765150Ultrasonic weapons
>>64767632It helps rapidly spread the genes via migration combined with rapid reproduction in times of plenty (high population density) while avoiding the behavior when the resources aren't there for rapid reproduction (low population density), and also inherently outcompetes those without the swarming behavior because they'll be left with jack shit afterwards and die of starvation.
