These bugs have shown up on my land. There are quite a few. We have had drought nearly all summer. How do I control them?

chickens do a pretty good job.

We have quite a few. We bought Nolo Bait. This actually helps for the following year.

They ate my garden up this year, worst I have ever seen them. Then just left about two weeks ago. Don't know, but I think the dearth of birds is making them worse.

Chickens or netting.

Nolo bait is the best but I've heard you can dust w/flour too.

I promise to take mine fishing if they catch enough bait. Seriously though, I've never heard of anything that will repel them successfully yet not hurt anything else. I assume you still want the bees to visit your garden and not die.

You could try neem oil (with a nod to Turtlehead). Since grasshoppers actually ingest the plant the neem oil ought to work.
