There's a never-ending list of pests to become familiar with when you take on the hobby of gardening, and it can often be hard to distinguish what pest is causing the problem in your yard. If you're finding bite holes in your leaves and flowers, it might be a sign that grasshoppers are taking residence among your plants.
Just like repelling boxelder bugs and planting snail repellent plants, you can make careful planting choices to keep leaf munchers away. Like many pests, grasshoppers are sensitive to strong scents and are less likely to target particular plants. Choosing to have these plants in your yard can create an effective natural deterrent.
