There are a ton of grasshoppers in my yard. When you walk through, every step has 20 of the tiny nymphs flying from your feet. Studies show that 6-7 of these little turds per yard will eat as much as a cow. I've been trying to control them with semispore bait, but it isn't putting a dent in them. Their main breeding ground are grasses in sandy areas. So the area we don't mow by the wetland and the entire park across the street. I went over there yesterday and there were easily 50 to 75 grasshoppers per yard. When grasshoppers get too crowded, they morph. They get big. They become what is affectionately known as a locus swarm plague. Do you think if I presented this to the city, they'd come out and treat the park?
