Michael E. Cooper from the Idaho Department of Agriculture reports Mormon Crickets Emerging En masse' Across the Boise Front.
Mormon Crickets are being reported from the Danskin Mountain/Blacks Creek road area east of Mountain Home to Rocky Canyon outside of Boise and the Summit of Horseshoe Bend Hill on Highway 55. In excess of 24 bands of migrating crickets have been observed between Mayfield and the road to the Danskin Mountains in Elmore County. One of the biggest Bands of migrating crickets is on Horseshoe Bend Hill East of Hwy 55 extending a mile or two up the ridge.
Control measures have been undertaken in Elmore County with more being planned. Boise County has declared a local emergency due to the threat to traffic on Highway 55. Boise County and ISDA officials are reviewing options to see what can be done to prevent the crickets from affecting vehicle traffic on the hill. Large numbers of crickets crushed by passing vehicles can cause hazardous driving conditions by making the road slick.
There have also been reports of crickets in Owyhee County near Murphy.
