Thanks for the info on the Nolo, Jo! I may give it a try.
I just read a site where someone mentioned EcoBran. It isn't organic and contains a small percentage of Carbaryl (Sevin) but it is in bait form so should have a more targeted effect. I know nothing about it, but I wonder if you could set up baiting stations rather than scattering it indiscriminately. If so, that would help reduce the loss of non-targeted insects and widespread pesticide contamination in your yard.

I can sympathize with you, the bugs in the south are really hard to deal with and I hate using synthetic chemicals in my yard, too. Besides grasshoppers, the leaf-hoppers are driving me mad.
Oh, forgot to say...
to ATP!
