Default crickets/grasshoppers

Hi Frank, I would use Neem Oil, the purer the better.
Cheers Wendy

Hi all-

Hope summer is going well for everyone and that you are having good growth
on your orchids.

I'm hoping the collective wisdom of the group can give me some guidance
for controlling grasshoppers and crickets in the orchid collection. Right
now, most of the plants are outside and my annual crop of
crickets/grasshoppers are beginning to appear. Suggestions for managing
these voracious pests?

Thanks and happy growing.
