Click here to shop all Grasshopper Control options.Nolo Bait is a spreadable bait made from wheat bran coated with Nosema locustae, a target-specific pathogen. Easy to apply, Nolo Bait is harmless to humans, pets, birds, beneficial insects and other wildlife. Use it on your lawn and garden, near greenhouses and any other growing areas affected by grasshopper damage.
How it Works: Nolo Bait infects grasshoppers and Mormon Crickets with Nosema locustae, a naturally occurring protozoan. It infects all life stages of the pests, but is most effective when ingested by young grasshoppers (1st/2nd instars, 1/4"-1/2" long). After eating, Nolo Bait creates a disease within the grasshoppers (and Mormon Crickets) that is pest-specific. You can identify which grasshoppers have been infected by the following:
- Eye color turns from dark brown to a cloudy white color.
- Activity decreases and grasshoppers often fall on their side when landing.
- The abdomen of infected individuals turn a creamy-white color with heavy infection.
- Dead grasshoppers may cling to plant stalks with evidence of cannibalism.
