The Lubber Grasshopper Treatment is important. These colorful locust can grow from a tiny black grasshopper to an insect that is relatively large in size but, they are of no real harm to humans. Most of the damage they do is to the plants and landscape. If you find them in your lawn, you can either pick them out by hand. Another options is to mow the lawn while they are present. In more serious cases, a professional exterminator, like Peninsular Pest Control, will need to be called.

“If you opt not to call a professional for lubber grasshopper treatment you can take them off the leaf put them in a bucket and in the bucket we recommend to either have rubbing alcohol or soapy water,” Richardson said. The liquid will asphyxiate the bugs.  But, remember, getting rid of these tiny black grasshoppers in their infant stage is much easier.
