Anyone have advise on grasshoppers? We use bt for catepillars, but it diesnt seem to work for the grasshoppers that come and munch on our leaves...

Are grate lightly toasted, or grilled do allow for a captivity period first so they may poop out all that green shit(bud?) dip in honey and down with a beer if gay or a noobie!

ps avoid using the microwave they always blow up and make a hell of a mess that gets every bitch moaning for hours...lol

Believe it or not, if the grasshopper can be seen with my naked eye, me and my Daisy bb gun take it out. I just can't cut them in half with my Felco's but I have no problem blowing them up.

your more likely to have to hatch them than buy them alive as shipping them live is a pita, they end up eating each other on the trip and you end up with one fat bug in the end, better to hatch them and let them go so they can find food that is not the're brothers and sister.

as far as the hoppers go, a screen around the plant could work or check you tube for making traps.

It is difficult to get comprehensive pictures of an exploded grasshopper.

Its probably to late to grow mantises, I'll try the flour trick, I got too many to deal with and that might be the better solution

Lol so far we are going with the flick to the ground and stomp their guts out method... gonna look into traps... but they sure do poop all over everything and they leave their moltings behind.

Build a housing for the plants...PVC pipe(very cheap) and screen door mesh...use pvc pipe to build a frame and cover frame with mesh..use common stapler to close up sides and top...I did one 8x8x8 with PVC prior to getting my greenhouse. Here's a pic.

Nice! Our girls are way to big to cage in... they are akready under a pvc hoophouse frame, but we cant even cover it all the way because a few of them are already too tall.
