These are the two garden pests that we have the most of!
See this site to control Grasshoppers in the garden, it requires apple cider vinegar
Since we have a pond, maybe Sara will give/sell 4 of her older ducks when she gets the new ones on May 6. Otherwise I will ask Ana for a pair.
Last year we had too many grasshoppers; I purchased a product that is organically approved called semaspore bait sold by Planet Natural. I ordered it too late, mid May, so we didn't have such good results.
For best results I should start catching, killing crickets in the Spring, when they are still babies. The chickens love them, but the chickens are a menace to the garden!
We are considering getting some guinea fowls
