Grasshopper Invasion - Help Needed
    #5737598 - 06/11/06 11:12 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Thanks to yet another mild winter every freakin' pest is out in full force. This year brought an unexpected nuisance - grasshoppers. Thousands of baby grasshoppers are here and are quickly decimating everything in sight. I've already lost several ornamentals and ethno's(incl. all of my salvia :mad: ). Has anyone had experience with this plague and have been able to combat them successfully w/o killing their plants? (Most of the pesticides I've looked at already don't seem very plant safe.) Any help would be appreciated immensely.

Gee Elsie, how do you do it?

pac_man - Thanks for the heads-up on the Hot Pepper Wax. It looks like an ideal, organic solution. Unfortunately I was not able to find any locally, so I'll have to order some for future use.

rod - Nope, no chickens or geese. Good idea though. Squishing them by hand huh? :lol:

Since I couldn't find a good solution locally, I gave in and and got some Dursban from a neighbor. I didn't wan't to use anything that potent, but he said that his plants survive treatment and I've had enough of these fsckin' demon spawn.

/fingers crossed
