ok i answered my own question but this is good info.
also, i have heard that this summer may be the worst for grasshoppers ever, all ppl who live in Wheat farming areas. be on red alert this summer and spread this info around in your area.

"The biological solution"

"LUBILOSA has developed a mycopesticide called GREEN MUSCLE® based on the spores of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum. This fungus, which appears to be specific to species of short-horned grasshoppers (Acridoidea and Pyrgomorphoidea), is widely distributed in Africa and under favourable climatic conditions, can cause local epidemics in grasshopper or locust populations. Its biological and physical properties make this fungus an ideal candidate for augmentative biological control. Spores of M. anisopliae var. acridum can be easily mass-produced."

This was on the market(or a similar product) from gardensalive.com back in the 80s and for some reason they quit carrying it.  Of course that was before they had a website, but I used to order it from a catalog.  It was a fungus you mixed with a box of Quaker oats and then sprinkled it out for the grasshoppers to eat.  It gave them black spots all over.  Grasshoppers are cannibals, so when one gets sick, the others jump onboard and eat him, spreading the fungus.  I wiped out all the grasshoppers within a ten mile radius of where I lived back then.  It comes back the next year and gets that batch too.  Great stuff.

Green Muscle is great and is used very succesfully in Afrcian locust control operations.
