Do you feel that there are so many locusts in your house that your days are like a horror movie? While they are great bird food, locusts can destroy crops and can be very annoying at times. Here are some ways to get rid of this annoying animal.
Step
Method 1 of 2: The Natural Way
Step 1. Raise chickens
Chickens love these jumping animals and have a huge appetite. Chickens eat grasshoppers in large numbers and will save your garden from destruction. There are many cities in the world that allow people to keep these birds with certain permits.
By raising chickens, you not only get rid of pests but also get fresh eggs and meat pies
Step 2. Make your plants spicy
The key is the insect repellent pepper spray. This product is in a wide variety of garden product catalogs and may soon cover your entire plant. Insects don't like the spicy taste so they won't eat the leaves of the plant!
Step 3. Get rid of the grasshoppers
Head to the locust nest in the early morning or late afternoon and move slower as the air cools. Tap the grasshopper off the leaf so that it enters the bucket of soapy water so that the grasshopper sinks or just tap it until it falls and step on it until it dies.
Method 2 of 2: Pesticides
Step 1. Apply the pesticide immediately
Pesticides become less effective as the grasshoppers get older. In addition, grasshoppers may have reproduced as adults.
Step 2. Observe products containing neem tree extract
Natural insecticides containing neem tree extract as the active ingredient will kill grasshoppers. The neem tree is commonly found in the Indian subcontinent and is considered highly prized in the region where it is grown. The leaves are a natural disinfectant and insecticide. If you live in the US, a toothpaste made from neem tree extract can be purchased in the US and is effective in treating mouth ulcers and keeping grasshoppers away from the mouth.
Step 3. Try using EcoBran insecticide

EcoBran utilizes carbaryl which is an organophosphate compound. This product is suitable for owners of land that are not too large who want to eradicate grasshoppers. In addition, this product is easy to use and has less impact on insects than other carbaryl formulas
