    You know I've hardly seen a grasshopper around here this spring. There were a few last year but not anymore than normal. And yet I saw places where they were plentiful last year and I've seen a few sites this year where it looks like they could be a problem.
    I went out to Saskatchewan in 2002 and the grasshoppers around Hanna were so bad the highway was slippery...had to stop and wash the darn things out of the radiator!

      About Ecobranon't worry about it doing any harm to birds that may eat the dead hoppers.They could never eat enough hoppers fast enough.In human terms,a 170 lb. man would have to eat a bread bag full of Ecobran in less than an hour for it to even begin to be toxic.An adult grasshopper is dead after eating only 3 or 4 flakes,less than 1 flake will usually kill a newly hatched hopper.
      The chemical in Ecobran is carbaryl.It does no harm to most other insects(bees etc).
      If you have questions about Ecobran,Neil Wagner at Peacock Industries in Hague SK. is the guy you want to talk to.306-225-4691.
