Grasshoppers are noisy insects that like to infest vegetable gardens. While grasshoppers look innocent, they can harm plants by eating and destroying leaves. A large grasshopper population can destroy beautiful flowers and eat the vegetables in gardens. Organic and safe homemade sprays can be made from household items. Preferably use these sprays around dusk, as using them during hot times of day can burn plant leaves. this is a way to kill them

Garlic oil· Grasshoppers hate the smell and taste of garlic, so a garlic-oil mix works well as a homemade control spray. Chop finely six fresh garlic cloves and mix them with one tablespoon of mineral oil to make a homemade control spray.

The mixture will need to steep for 24 hours in a glass jar for maximum potency. Use a strainer or a piece of cheesecloth to strain the liquid, discarding the pieces of garlic afterward.

Dilute two tablespoons of garlic-infused oil with one pint of water and one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. Spray your plants thoroughly with your homemade mixture, covering both top and bottom of plant leaves.
