Abstract
Locust outbreaks occur when conditions for breeding become favorable. As a reaction to an increase in density, locusts change their behavior from solitarious to gregarious. When fully gregarious, they are capable of migrating in swarms to agricultural areas, where they can inflict considerable damage. The goal of control is to destroy gregarizing populations in the restricted outbreak areas. The feasibility of this approach will be discussed for different locust species, but in particular for the desert locust.
