tures out of the yard, including grasshoppers and door-to-door salesmen. Chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl are also touted by Colorado State University Extension as excellent non-chemical grasshopper control. The first two birds I’m familiar with, but guinea fowl are a mystery. Evidently they look like small vultures wandering your yard, shrilly cackling as they swoop down on insects, particularly grasshoppers, June beetles, or Japanese beetles. Guinea hens are noisy, belting out a warning whenever intruders arrive, which in suburbia, means a cacophony arises whenever the postman, meter reader, garbage truck, or my mother stops by. The entertainment potential alone makes them worth considering. Ultimately there is little to be done to rid my garden of grasshoppers. Hopefully the plants will survive until harvest, and I’ll keep a bucket of soapy water around to hurl the hoppers into whenever I catch them.
