Montana State University developed a bacteria that only affects grasshoppers. They added this bacteria to bran flakes and sell it. You make a perimeter around what you want protected by placing these flakes, the grass hoppers eat the flakes and die, then they eat their dead and die from that as well. This will not affect water, birds, cats, dogs or any other animals. I can't recall the name but maybe you can do a search on it through MSU.Kelle at The Never Done Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089557752054842197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-66379927980253727652010-06-02T19:53:15.772-05:002010-06-02T19:53:15.772-05:00The area where the flowers are is right next to th...The area where the flowers are is right next to the patio and the cookers. I plan on getting turkeys in the future but I don't think I want them that close to where we do all the cooking and entertaining. Big birds leave big droppings. I guess for the time being I will have to invest in some fly swatters.

Oh! they also love the apple drops( fallen apples) It's frustrating I know and I think we're in for a bad year with grasshoppers too. Good luck ;o)Kelle at The Never Done Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089557752054842197noreply@blogger.com
