  • Wanted: grasshopper resistant plants, poison to hoppers

    Created by Anonymous on September 16, 2007 at 8:10 pm

    Does anyone know of any grasshopper resistant plants, hardy to zone four or colder? Also does anyone know plants that are poisonous to grasshoppers?

    All I have found so far are Arsnick ferns, which also remove arsnick from the soil. I haven't found out how cold hardy they are, or who sells them, but do know the hoppers try to avoid them, and will die if they do eat them.

    I do not know of any grasshopper resistant plants, or plants that are poisonous to solely grasshoppers. However, we do carry a product called semaspore bait, it contains a natural protozoa that attacks solely grasshoppers. Find it here!

    Hope this helps!
