We have a plague of grasshoppers here in Tasmania at the moment, so much so
that a few dozen jump in front of your feet every time you take a step. In
the last couple of weeks they have started eating most of my CPs and
orchids!!! :(

I have a bog full of Sarrs covered in holes, and some of my soft tender
orchids have only leaf veins left...

I can't spray, as more just move in from the garden overnight... Needless
to say there is no room in the house for my collection. Has anyone ever had
this problem before?
