     Grasshoppers attack a wide variety of plants. They eat leaves and 
     occasionally fruit, migrating as they deplete their food sources. In 
     vegetable gardens, they are most numerous in the rows near weedy 
     areas. In late summer, adult grasshoppers lay their eggs in pods in 
     the soil. The adults continue feeding until cold weather kills them. 
     The eggs hatch the following spring. Grasshopper problems are most 
     severe during hot, dry weather. Grasshoppers migrate into green 
     gardens and yards as surrounding areas dry up in the summer heat. 
     Periods of cool, wet weather help keep their numbers under control.
     
     Ortho Sevin Brand Carbaryl Insecticide2 will control grasshoppers.  
Another option is that you can treat the plants with ORTHO Bug-Geta Snail, Slug 
     & Insect Killer or an insecticide containing diazinon as soon as 
     grasshoppers appear. Repeat at weekly intervals if the plants become 
     reinfested.
     
     The best thing to use for the squash vine borer moth is Ortho 
     Malathion 50 Plus.  Be sure to follow all label directions for 
     application.
