“Rock Music Repels Insect Invaders”
Tweet
Yes, you read it right – that’s the headline blared yesterday by The Wall Street Journal.
They’re referring to a particularly nasty hive of Mormon Crickets (yes, that’s their actual name), an insect that’s over two inches long, blood red, and capable of ruining hundreds of farmland acres.
The crickets are currently tearing through Nevada, leading residents to try everything possible to stop them – and it seems Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Green Day have worked better than pesticides to dispel the pests.
Meanwhile, have you guys seen the Mosquito Repeller on the iPhone? It’s an App that claims to repel mosquitos with a high pitched frequency, but the reviews are very mixed. If anyone’s tried it, comment!
