I spend days and night hoping to have a beautiful rose bush.. but when I see this.........
What can I say...they are just animals/pest/insects that don't have brains like us...so I have to bear with them...But I have to do something fast to eliminate these intruders...
New shoot badly eaten by grasshopper?? |
More damage done.. |
And more... |
And many many more that I have lost counts... This I suspected is the work of the grasshopper. I am yet to sit down quietly in the garden to hunt for them....
I read somewhere that the only way to get rid of the grasshoppers is to catch and kill them... but I don't think I have the heart to do that. I will probably catch them, put them in a plastic container and dispose them far far away from my place...
And to me this is a tedious job, much more complicated than spraying fungicide or pesticide....Imagine I have to sneak quietly in between the rose thorns to catch them... I don't know whether it's best to do this at night or during the day. Honestly, I have not seen any of them during the day...
You can welcome some birds to your garden. Some species feed on grasshoppers.
