Comments about ‘Utah State scientists seek cricket-killing fungus’

Can't we just call upon the seagulls?

Hey, they worked before. All it took was a little faith. Hmm..that may be more difficult to come by than money!

This is no laughing matter. Have we not learned by now that interfering with natural selection by importing or creating foreign organisms to combat native species leads to nothing but disaster. There is no telling what damage this fungus would cause to the environment. This is one place that science should not enter.

I hope they find someting that will kill the earwigs too.

Man... I hate bugs

When crops are weak Nature's clean-up crew takes over by chomping them down. Create a strong, natural crop, grown in rich natural soil. Don't depend on pesticides and herbicides or Franken-fungus to take out the Franken-Foods.

The last time we had a cricket infestation, we had ducks in our backyard. We never had any problems and our neighbors borrowed our ducks to get rid of their grasshoppers. You can then eat your ducks. You get a nice meal and get rid of a problem.
