Calls to report locust activity

Are you seeing locusts?

Agriculture Victoria is asking to report them immediately if you have.

Early reporting helps track locust movements and supports timely management responses.

Reporting helps Agriculture Victoria monitor locust activity across the state.

The monitoring helps with producing accurate forecasts on locust activity, including timing of hatching and densities.

Public and private land managers can use this information to pinpoint where and when to spray, to reduce overall numbers and help protect Victoria’s agriculture industry.

Please report any activity, including:

• egg laying
• hatching
• banding
• swarming.
