Honorable Mayor Ruth Pierce,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the recent cricket invasion that has
affected Twin Falls. I am seeking information on the city's current measures to manage this situation
and any available services that assist with the collection of these insects.
Could you please provide details on whether there are existing services that are authorized or
planned by the city to collect crickets during such invasions? Additionally, I am interested in
understanding the frequency of these invasions—how often can we expect them to occur in your city?
Looking ahead, I would also like to discuss the possibility of establishing a service for collecting
insects during future invasions. If a service were to be available next year, or even later this year,
would the city government consider supporting or endorsing this initiative?
Thank you for your attention to these matters. I look forward to your prompt response and appreciate
any information you can provide. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further details from
my side.
Warm regards,
Anthony Piraino
