| They're already big so I don't think Nolo would work. What can I do? They are eating my plants down to nubs. |

| Nolo will work, Marti.............it just takes a while to notice that it is working. Hey, the bigger they are, the more that will dine on the dead one, and that is how Nolo works. |

| Ok good. I'll see if I can find some tomorrow. Where is it commonly available? |

| I had to order mine, but some years my nursery (Hartwell's) carries it...........will give him a call and see if he has it this year. Try calling places you frequent and see if they have it. I have some left over that I am using now, but don't know how effective it is. I am going to get "fresh" as a few years ago when they were so bad, I used it generously and didn't have grasshoppers for a number of years. It DOES work, just not immediately !!! |

| Get a couple guineas hens, problem solved! I saw a special on TX on this, it works. Oh course some people prefer grasshoppers to guineas. Barbra |

| I would love to have guineas, Barbra, but the coyotes think they are so delicious. I don't even mind the "pot-rack, pot-rack" sound they make. At least they let you know when a predator is near by. |

| Found some at my local nursery. I'll pick it up tomorrow. |

| I've got a lot of grasshoppers also, what is this "Nolo", I've never heard of it. Is it safe to use around vegetables, children, and dogs? |

| I've used Nolo bait for years. It's best to put it down when you are first seeing small grasshoppers. I imagine any time is better than no time, though. I buy it from Peaceful Valley Farm Supply, online. |

| Thanks carrie. I have noticed a pair of roadrunners catching grasshoppers in the yard lately and I was a bit worried about that. |

| I found some at the Argyle feed store for $16.99 for a pound. That is the same price as Amazon online. Not a bad price. |
