Nolo-Bait

This stuff is awesome. If you're wondering if it really works, it sure does. This is my second year using Nolo bait, and I have almost no grasshoppers left on my property. The ones I do find are small, weak, and soft-bodied. I can literally reach out and grab them crush them in my hand. They are obviously ill. if you have a large repository of grasshopper population near you, for instance if you are surrounded by fields of grains, then this might not work for you. I do not have a whole lot of influx of new grasshoppers, so this stuff has been wonderful for me. I distributed small amounts in my various vegetable gardens, using white plastic bins from the dollar store turned on their side, this keeps the brand from getting blown around or wet in the rain and grasshoppers are supposedly attracted to white things. I add another tablespoon or so to each box every 3 weeks or so across the growing season so there is always some fresh bait. Easy, and Incredibly effective. Totally worth what seems like a high price.

this is awesome. We were totally overrun with grasshoppers last year and then this year the hordes started early.I am a senior and I have NEVER seen so many grasshoppers in my whole life. I was so happy to be able to get 3 bags of Nolo Bait in June. I set it out in trays in the garden where the grasshoppers were destroying my garden and some at the house. it took about 3 weeks before I realized that the grasshoppers were down to a normal amount. Halleluia! My garden is coming back and it is so nice not to have grasshoppers all over my house. Well worth the investment.

This is an effective product for the control of grasshoppers. It is safe to use around children, pets, and wildlife. It doesn't work quite as well as some toxic chemicals, but is far safer. Don't expect this to NOLO Bait - Grashopper & Cricket Control (1 lb Bag) to kill all of your grasshoppers at once. It takes reapplication and patience, but will get the job done with some time.

Actually did not work as well as I expected. Any amount of moisture/dew renders this bait ineffective, and it's always damp or dewy where I live, so I have to wait until late in the day to apply.

We have purchased Semaspore from Planet Natural.com for the last 20 years. This year I found out they are selling out and the whole place is in transition and you cannot buy from them till the transfer is complete - FREAK OUT! Out grasshopper plague is HUGE this year and I didn't know what to do. We do not use chemicals in our gardens, without their killer we were not going to have any garden left for us. I got online with my Amazon Smile and TA-DA..found this stuff. It's PERFECT! Looks just like the Planet Natural stuff just a different name and brand. RELIEF!! Its tiny flakes and you simply sprinkle it around the plants. Grasshoppers (oh, and JUST grasshoppers - it does not affect any good bugs, animals, or humans-BONUS!) eat it, die, and the cannibals that they are eating their dead and also die: WIN-WIN!! I will be coming back for more soon - thank you NOLO!!

We used NOLO Bait last year but could not see any difference from when we applied it over the following week. Just as many grasshoppers! This year we abandoned organic solutions and purchased Safer Insect killing soap. Within two days, my very skeptical wife could only find 2 grasshoppers remaining, and she loved killing the one she could get a hold of. So far, my experience with 3 different organic grasshopper eliminators has been a zero. Some of the biggest problems are all the finicky conditions that are required for application. Overall, I would like to go organic but so far I have seen no elegant solutions that are effective.

I have used this product for years at two different homes. The product does work when used correctly. I know when I have used it too late in a year when the hoppers were too large it was less effective. So it does need to be used when they are small. Up in the mountains where the populations were small the effect was easily observable. Now I live in a river valley where the populations are large, the varieties are many, and my neighbors are closer the battle against grass hoppers is more difficult. In the mountains I might not see any the next year. Here in the valley the best I can hope for is to knock them down to a smaller population. I recommend this product. I will continue to use it.

In the past I ordered Semaspore Bait which worked well. It had a shelf life of only 8 weeks if not refrigerated, and needed to be spread with no rain in sight for 48 hours. The NOLO bait didn't say anything about a shelf life and I spread it with the same criteria as I used to do with Semaspore bait. Unlike Semaspore bait, I have seen no reduction in the amount of grasshoppers and they continue to multiply. Maybe it was an old batch or something but I am very disappointed.
