17 year locusts....
The 17 years locusts came out where my folks lived and made a godawful LOUD electronic sounding racket. My Dad made a paddle and he would go out in the yard and swing it around like a madman. I don't know what good he was doing because there were millions of them per square mile.
When reading this, 2 things come to mind. Using a badminton racket might be easier and faster to swing. Also, if a neighbor or passerby sees you, not knowing what you are doing, they may think you a bit touched!A buddy of mine used to shoot them with the .22 shotshells.
