The document refers to the desert locust survey in Barbados, insecticidal treatments and the results. The following recommendations are made: 1) surveys should continue at a much reduced level to determine whether egg batches have been deposited and more importantly, whether hoppers will be produced; 2) biological and behaviourial studies should be conducted to learn as much as possible about the insect in its new environment; 3) spraying equipment should be tested for efficiency; 4) attempts should be made to tackle the locust problem on a regional level since the insect is a powerful flyer and is quite capable of moving from one island to another almost overnight; 5) particular emphasis should be placed on flight and an investigation of environmental and other factors which encourge or facilitate it; and, 6) more attention should be paid to movement of depressions and other adverse weather conditions crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the African continent.
