What are we asking farmers to do?
Effective locust response requires a co-ordinated and carefully targeted control program. Farmers have a vital role to play by monitoring and promptly providing accurate reports of locust infestations on their property to the DPI; especially where bands of hoppers are observed. In particular, it is important that farmers take responsibility for controlling locusts on their land to ensure that damage to their crops is prevented or minimised and that infestations are prevented from spreading and increasing in size. Contact the DPI: 1300 13 5559. It is also important to allow The DPI staff access to privately owned land where required to facilitate monitoring.
