Millions of Mormon Crickets Invade Nevada Town

Millions of Mormon crickets have arrived in Elko, Nevada, blanketing parts of the city.
The crickets are causing driving hazards and economic losses to rangeland, cropland, and home gardens.
Chemical deterrents do not work against the crickets, and the best solution is to place smooth plastic fencing around gardens.
Tens of thousands of Mormon cricket eggs have hatched in Elko, Nevada causing chaos.
Residents and workers have tried to use brooms, leaf blowers, pressure washers and snow plows to get rid of the crickets, only for them to return.
