i am over-run with japanese beetles and HUGMONGEOUS grasshoppers (5
different types). i've been manuially squishing the beetles and smashing
the hoppers..but surely there must be a natural predator for both?
i have bird feeders all over the garden, but it'd take a pretty big bird to
pick up some of these hoppers.
is there ANY way to fight back against these buggers?? they're defoliating
my babies.
any suggestions would be welcome.
