In the agricultural expanses of Kabardino-Balkaria, a voracious Italian locust settled comfortably, which feels at the top of bliss at high air temperature and the absence of rainfall in the productive fields of southern Russia.

It is important to note that the Italian Prus is one of the most insatiable pest insects known to modern farmers. This locust eats around the clock, destroying both the leaves of the culture and the stems. After raids of the prus in most cases, only bare fields remain.

The wingspan of this locust is comparable to the passerine. It will not be superfluous to note that these pests are capable of eating such a volume of food that exceeds their own mass by two, or even three times.

In the hope of protecting the crop from the invasion of Italian locusts, farmers in Kabardino-Balkaria cultivate their land with various chemicals. However, by no means all means effectively scare away locusts, capable of destroying a field of a hundred hectares in two hours.

It is reported that on the fields, where the Italian Pruss was frequent. Today, people, animals and other unexpected guests are forbidden to enter - the entire territory is treated with toxic substances, and within three days any uninvited visitor can get severe poisoning.

However, other, more gentle means, it is simply impossible to save Kabardino-Balkaria from the locust attack.
