I found one in my underwear drawer...that is where I draw the line. Why are they coming in my house? Anyone? please? Will they spread disease in my house? I live in Washington state and have never ever seen them before. Help!

Blind them with the light while you sneak your other hand up and grab them or pinch them with your fingers. I found about a dozen on one tomato plant. They were all about 3/8 of an inch long or smaller. I have also found them on my blackberrie<br />leaves and some of them were about an inch long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12033780.post-75267087870127130912010-07-26T07:43:54.151-07:002010-07-26T07:43:54.151-07:00I hope I haven't instilled undue grasshopper f...I hope I haven't instilled undue grasshopper fear with this post. Greybirds are large, they do eat a lot, but around here they do not form swarms of garden-leveling proportions. They usually chow down a few leaves then move on. The very best way to control grasshoppers is to encourage insect-eating critters (many birds, lizards, spiders, etc) as a part of your garden environment. Also, these grasshoppers lay their eggs in the soil, and if you cultivate the top inch or so in late spring/early summer you can destroy many of the eggs. Good luck!vanessa carduihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276966298881636176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12033780.post-75462847176233717182010-07-25T22:59:00.797-07:002010-07-25T22:59:00.797-07:00I have them too!
