Leaf Hoppers
Ladybugs and other iunsect predators eat leaf hoppers. Grow some border
plants or trees and get rid of any perennial host weeds that allow the hoppers to overwinter. Organic insecticidal oils will reduce the popuation of hoppers to a level where the ladybugs can take over if you have a severe infestation. On a side note, leaf hoppers will probably not contaminate the ground water for generations to come. Diazinon, on the other hand, does not break down quickly and it's byproducts are not inert. If you simply must have your chemical control solution, nicotine sulfate kills leaf hoppers dead and degrades extremely quickly. On the other hand, while it's active, it's extremely toxic to warm-blooded animals, birds, and all kinds of insects, including the beneficial ones.
