    I have a grasshopper epidemic, they are everywhere. we have sprayed carbaryl in the heavy spots, it has worked but the numbers are so great that it isn't putting a dent in the population, and they just move too new locations. I am in North Texas, does anybody have any suggestions, or is this something that i have to just let it run its course?

    They are good fried with a good dip. OR http://www.richsoil.com/diatomaceous-earth.jsp I have used this on ants and it works well, may work for Grasshoppers also? Most pool supply shops have it for filters.

    Good Luck

    Absolutely the most disgusting think I've ever ate. Grilled sphincter is quite good though. You know you've been in Asia too long when you start craving grasshoppers.

    What particular species was the sphincter?

    You can make chocolate covered grasshoppers and eat them with a burgundy glass of wine.

    I'm pretty sure sow. I was half-way into it before I figured it out. Funny, what a famished man will do.

    Did you get a complementary jar of sphincter aroma with that dish?
