Neem oil can indeed be effective against grasshoppers when used as a pesticide. It works by disrupting their feeding and growth stages, ultimately reducing their population. When applied correctly, neem oil can act as a deterrent, causing grasshoppers to avoid treated plants. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on factors like application method, timing, and the severity of the infestation. It's crucial to apply neem oil when grasshopper activity is observed or when eggs are hatching. You're right it's not a one-time thing and then the problem is over it takes repeated application and just like life success is excellent timing- Thanks for watching Farmer Mike

Lastly, you have to keep tall grass cut down. Do you have tall grass near your plants? Farmer Mike
@thazen73 I have never seen it work on grasshoppers. Maybe if they are extremely small like just barely hatched. Their is definitely better things. I started using these oats that are poisonous to them. Seems to work pretty well. I think this guy doesn't really know what a grasshopper infestation is or looks like.
I can tell you right now neem oil isn't going to do anything for grasshoppers. But hey good luck.

I’ve used 2 bottles of neem and it does not work here at the ranch for grasshoppers or blister bugs
