This may seem a silly question, but does anyone have suggestions on how to deal with thousands (hundreds of thousands is more likely - lol) of grasshoppers? Although we currently are in So Cal, my husband and I have property in central TX (north of Lampasas, west of Gatesville) that I would like to start planting next spring (if the rains return). However, there are thousands of grasshoppers and other little critters everywhere (I keep thinking of the plague of locust). Although we have hoppers where we currently live, I have not had to deal with this heavy of an infestation . I was going to start using Semaspore but was wondering what everyone else does to control the insects?
Our property is fairly large and the terrain is variable so any large-scale solutions, both short-term (maybe floating row covers for the smallest areas?) and long-term would be most appreciated.
