How do I control the grasshoppers in my flower garden?

They are chewing holes in the leaves
How do I control the grasshoppers in my flower garden?
You could use a pesticide if you want.

Or you could put out Nolo Bait early in the season.

Or you could catch a few of them and put them in the blender with water and let that sit a day or so and strain and spray the affected plants. Thats called Bug Juice and it always works. No matter what bug youre fighting, just catch some and viola! bugs die from being around dead ones of their species, maybe from disease. Who knows? It works.
Reply:Go to the garden store and ask for nontoxic chemical to use. It is friendly on the environment and is good if you have children playing the around area.
Reply:I use sevin powder and dust them weekly with it. It has sure helped the flowers.
Reply:Birds, lizards,mantids, spiders, and rodents eat grasshoppers, I would try to attract all of the above except the rodents, but if you get those remember snakes eat rodents.
