Hey 2i30s , are you far from Emerald?you only need to worry about Locusts when they are in the thousands, i think they sprayed to kill them in some area's a few months back.

[im in hampton park]4 (or 6) doesn't constitute a plague.Many years ago I was managing a Goodyear store in Springwood south of Brisbane and arrived at work one morning to find they'd invaded the office area. The whole floor of the office, my office, the showroom and the customer lounge was covered in living locusts about an inch deep.And the SMELL! Even sweeping out every hour or so it took several days to get rid of them.The smell lingered for weeks.
