- I have grasshoppers everywhere! They are eating my plants, trees and hopping everywhere. I've been given lots of advice about how to get rid of them and this is my experience with a couple of organic remedies. Some didn't work for me and one did. I hope it might work for you too.
We are overrun by grasshoppers right now in TX.
I dusted one with DE the other day and he was so stunned/bothered by it I was able to stomp him. But now I see evidence of more and it breaks my heart because the DE is harmful to other beneficial insects that I have been trying to encourage. I can't have these guys taking over though. 💔💔💔💔
I have Orthopterophobia (grasshoppers phobia). I have a very hard time to watch your video because I can’t even look at them 😭😭😭. I am desperate to find something to keep them away from my garden
I have thousands of grasshoppers in my yard right now. I made a potent spray that I used once and may make a different stronger brew. Garlic smashed up. a rotten onion smashed up. hot chili powder, and some oil in a half gallon of water. This time I will make the spray stronger with more chili. I tried to find some NOLO bait but the company is no longer able to make the bait due to the factory having had a fire. So it is home-made spray as I am an organic gardener. By the way, it is not just my home that has the problem - the hoppers are all over the neighborhood for at least 1/2 mile away as I saw a bunch at a local parking lot of a restaurant.
The DE works, now I'm dealing with squash bugs!😡
Squash them 100 %
Maybe you didn't wait long enough for the flour to work. I did the flour treatment a week or so ago and noticed less activity after several days. Yesterday, I picked beans and noticed grasshopper skeletons and some very lethargic live ones that didn't jump when provoked.
That's one happy little chicken. Good job
I have a grasshopper problem. They have eaten my tomato, squash and pepper plants to a nub. I have cover most of my plants with veil material I bought on Amazon. Neem oil DID NOT WORK for me. I will also add diatomaceous to them. They are out of control!!!!
Flour did nothing for my grasshopper issue last year. I had ALOT, though.
I use take down and neem. When they are larger grasshoppers I try to catch them and feed them to our box turtles. The take down works with neem mixed in a pump sprayer from harbor freight. Just mix the solution before spraying your plants and test the spray on a small section of the plants. Only do this at sundown so you don’t burn your plants!
I have a grasshopper problem too. I heard flour with a bit of baking soda works well. I'll try that and I bought some Neem oil. They are devouring my almond tree leaves too. Also, good to know they have a three-year cycle and they lay their eggs in the top 2 inches of soil, so disrupting the soil helps, so they don't come back in the spring. I'll try some DE too. Thanks!
Nice 😊👍 you gave me hope.
There's a lot of two-striped grasshoppers at my school and they're invasive so I have proposed catching them and freezing them.
I love diatomaceous earth for some things but I can’t use it in my garden because it kills all the beneficial insects as well 😩😩
We tried flour as well and it didn't work. I will try DE and see
Will cornstarch work? I live in southern Louisiana and we have giant black grasshoppers that just give me the willies when I see them, not to mention how much racket they make all night long during the summer!! I found one close to my lemon tree that I just finished getting rid of a bunch of caterpillars from almost completely devouring every leaf, but the grasshopper leaped into my Schefflera plant and now I don’t know what to do to get rid of him😒
I think vinegar and soap is working. I sprayed and it seems to be kilingl them
Use the turkeys to control the perimeter around the greenhouses
NATURE ALWAYS WINS!
