How to Get Rid of Grasshoppers in a Flower Garden

Natural Remedy

• 1

  Put 3 oz. of minced garlic into 1 oz. of mineral oil. Let the mixture set for at least 24 hours.

• 2

  Strain the mixture and remove the pieces of garlic. A clean cloth works well if you do not have a strainer.

• 3

  Combine 1 tsp. of fish emulsions, 16 oz. of water and 1 tsp. of Castile soap in a large container.

• 4

  Add the garlic mixture to the fish emulsion mixture, slowly stirring it. Place this combined mixture in 1 oz. of water and use a spray bottle to distribute it on your flowers.

Insecticides

• 5

  Purchase an insecticide containing permethrin carbaryl or bifenthrin that is specifically formulated for grasshopper control.

• 6

  Read the product label on the container and make sure it is safe for use on your flowers. Mix the insecticide by following the manufacture's instructions.

• 7

  Spray the insecticide on the flowers affected by the grasshoppers. The grasshoppers must come in direct contact with the insecticide for this method to work.
