Use an insecticide such as malathion.

I get Desis that is a 'wonderful' chemical for insects to use here on my acreage. I use it for potato bugs on my potatoes, little no seeums in my strawberry patch, aphids, cutworms, etc.

Are the grasshoppers only in a small area of your yard or is it a widespread problem in your neighborhood/land? I do not know if you are in town somewhere or in the country. If they are coming off the farmer's field then you could have a big problem. Do you have any type of row covers then?

Do you have jars? I could send my 4 kids over who LOVE catching grasshoppers! LOL

Hope you find a solution.

We live in the country, by a river. we have 13 acres of land/mostly forest/weed/grass. Not many neighbours close by and no farms. I did put a row cover on some things. will need to buy more I guess. Thanks for the help. Brenda where would I buy Desis?
