The Belgian army is being brought in to tackle loads of hairy caterpillars which are creating havoc in a forest.

So how do you get rid of a Caterpiller thats destroying a forrest?

Burn

"In teams of two people, they will go through the forests and burn them off the trees," said an army spokesperson



Burn the forrest down before they can destroy it :p



Seriously though, will they all just have Zippo lighters? :confused:


I wonder if the animal rights activists will start to protest :p
 
If you're just firing short bursts from a flamethrower onto the main trunk of a tree, it won't set it on fire. It'll hardly be enough to scorch the tree before the caterpillars die.
 
just talked to a few people at work here and it's a huge problem. The hairs on these things causes severe allergic reactions and there are millions of them. So many that people and pets have to stay indoors until the firebigrade come and exterminate them. Fire is the only way to reduce the hairs from floating in the air and causing breathing problems for people. :(

My colleague said he handled one when he was a kid and it's 5 times more painful than a stingy nettle.
