How do I get rid of a locust in my house?

Question

It's loud, annoying, and honestly it's scaring the sh*t out of me! It was behind my TV and I was gonna let it die there but now its flown up to the lamp behind me and it's freakin me out! Can anyone help!? Do they bite?

Answer 1

Locust? I thought that was a type of tree.

Research at Oxford University identified swarming behaviour as a response to overcrowding. Triggered by increased tactile stimulation of the hind legs, transformation of the locust to the swarming variety is merely induced by several contacts per minute over a four-hour period.[2] It is estimated that the largest swarms have covered hundreds of square miles and consisted of many billions of locusts.

The extinction of the Rocky Mountain locust has been a source of puzzlement. Recent research suggests that the breeding grounds of this insect in the valleys of the Rocky Mountains came under sustained agricultural development during the large influx of gold miners,[1] destroying the underground eggs of the locust.[3] [4].

Answer 2

On "Frasier", they had a cricket in the house, so they bought a little lizard and let him loose on the cricket. He ate him. Then they had to get an owl to eat the lizard that was running around.

What a mess!  I'd get bug spray and squirt that lamp.  He'll fall out and you can squish him.  I have a feeling he's a cicada though, not a locust.

Answer 3

Do you have a jar or can or somehting like that? Hes not going to hurt you. They are harmless to people. take the can or whatever , catch it ane put a lid on it. go to the door and let him out. No big deal. You dont need to kill him though.
