Grasshopper update

  • jtp

It's been one week since I applied Nosema locustae (Brand names Nolo Bait and Semaspore) to my yard. I am already seeing fewer smaller grasshoppers; and the large ones sit there like they are stoned. They just look at me as I pinch them off the plants. The protozoans, which affect only grasshoppers and crickets, are supposed to take full effect within two weeks and work for up to a year and a half. They are supposed to sicken the young grasshoppers and turn the rest into cannibals. That is what it looks like is happening. So far, I am a big fan of this product.

P.S. - Gardeners' Supply sells this product for around $20.

That is awesome.

Sounds like Night of the Living Dead.

COOL,,, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.

The grasshoppers have all but disappeared. On the now rare occasion that I do see one, it sits still and allows itself to be plucked off the trees. Clearly, this product works as promoted. I am a fan of cannibal grasshoppers.

Nice
