I'd get the chickens. No grasshoppers in this yard. ;-)
I bet you are not the only person in your town who would like to have chickens. Laws are changing everywhere,
@Armchairhomesteader after reading what you have posted......I have only one word of comfort for you. Move. Texas is nice this time of year.....but not in another week or two....
Back to the grasshoppers, since you can't have chickens, what about the bait shop idea? Make it a "catch your own" 35 grasshoppers for $1.50
