According to a wildlife expert, these bats could not be repelled with the help of sprays used for smaller such species. He warned that the bats carried virus and if they bit someone it might cause rabies.

The expert expressed the hope that the bats will return to their place of origin once the monsoon season was over.

In Nov last year, farmers of Thar district had found solution to the grasshoppers attack on their crops through frying and making biryani from them.

Interestingly, people come from far away to eat the biryani and karahi gosht dishes made from these grasshoppers in Chachro area of the Thar district. Those who introduced these dishes say that the grasshoppers, full of vitamins, tasted like fish and the dishes were sold from Rs200 to Rs300 per plate.

The locusts are first thoroughly washed then dried in sunlight, after that they are fried on low flame.
