If you can regularly hit a grasshopper with a slingshot, I'm staying away from you.

How do you get rid of grasshoppers I've noticed that I have some this year along with some other critters that I pick off the plants and give to the chickens but those hoppers are just to darn fast for this ol' lady to chase after.

 

[so lucky]

Are you not able to let your chickens free-range for a while daily? They love to chase and eat grasshoppers.

 

[desertlady]

I want to let them lose, but they want to eat my garden too when the grasshoppers gets close to their pen, the go crazy !! same for other pests. I notice they dont care for ants.

Same here the chickens would eat more of the garden and scratch up the plants more then they would catch the hoppers I think.
