Nolo bait for grasshoppers nosema - does it affect bees?
« on: April 26, 2015, 02:17:57 pm »
ok, I guess I should maybe give away my tasty dahlias.

i would have loved to keep them but the grasshoppers just decimate them. So I researched nolo bait and it kills grasshoppers by giving them Nosema.  No warning about harm to bees on the advertising but I am extremely suspicious. Has anyone else tried it?

My current grasshopper controls are wild birds and chickens

SSSSTrike THHHRREee.  :laugh: Sorry, Gypsi looks like no one knows. My GUESS is that it's a separate disease. You could try e-mailing the manufacturer.

I bought some neem oil.  It is safe.  I have hens, they eat grasshoppers. will have to do.

Some good information here.

 Pyganic  is the best spray to use to kill bugs safely. I use it for my strawberries and melons. It will kill grasshoppers.
