Additional bands of locusts entered Israel on Tuesday, marking a week since the first wave of bugs flew across the Sinai border.
Aerial and ground spraying has largely worked in eradicating the swarms, the Agriculture Ministry stressed.
Locusts are not harmful to humans, and they only pose a threat to agriculture in large swarms. The chemicals used to combat the locusts are “soft pesticides.” They have no effects on other animals and leave no residue.
