Grasshoppers!

[RedRayderz01]

I'm at villages at willow bay and there are tons of grass hoppers eating my plants. There are now holes in the fronds of several of my palm trees.

I've killed about 20 or 30'of them already this morning. Anyone else have this problem? How can we get rid of them!

Get bug sprayer that goes on the end of your hose and spray every day or two, can get it at lowes/home depot. I actually have agricultural spray designed for them and it kills them but more replace them next day or so.

We have the same problem over by Heritage HS. I've been cutting my lawn a little bit lower than normal since then and I think that's solved the problem - the grasshoppers can't hide from the birds down in the grass.

One of my dogs hates birds - chases them off of the backyard fence. But that day after I mowed the lawn down, he was going insane - it was a Grasshopper Massacre. Those Mockingbirds sure liked me though...
