nagpants 1 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Why are all those suzume dying? Something like 750 suddenly dying or something.. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Have you got a bit more info? A diagnosis based on so little detail is rather a tall order... Link to post Share on other sites

Ezorisu 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Here's an English article from the Mainichi: http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20060412p2a00m0na004000c.html The info is about a day old. There were some other articles on local news services, but the only other English one I found wasn't linkable. The problem extends South to Sapporo and Muroran. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Muikabochi, as far as I read the description, they are not sure, I guess. They say some plural reasons may be related each other. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Sad. I like suzume. There was a leaflet coming round here last week encouraging people to poison crows (pretty sure thats what it was). Going to be some shooting going on as well it seems. Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Thought you were talking about the wasps for a while... Nasty things they are, as many of them can die as they want. I guess these are called Suzume Batchii or something like that? They are enormous! Link to post Share on other sites

me jane 0 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Had a nest of those in the wall outside my classroom at work. I sprayed them with cockroach spray and they made such a noise. Kept filling the nest (the hole in the wall) up with mastic type stuff but they just ate right through it. Boss finally got the pros in and haven't seen them in a while now.
