|
|
I have huge green grasshoppers on many of my figs, citrus, apples, etc.
I am looking to get them under control if not destroy them. My garlice/pepper tea does not even phase them. I have looked at the insect recommendations and believe that only praying mantises might be able to handle them.
Any thought anyone? |

| I'm jealous - my chickens would love them. How about some guinea hens? They are great for eating insects but don't damage plants by scratching up the roots like chickens. |

Did a search-seems Kaolin clay spray has been the answer for best results. I've never tried it but if it gets bad on our land, we will try it.

| I did a search on the Surround and it sounds GREAT! If anyone knows where I can get some, let me know. I look forward to trying it! |
