Question
What can we use to stop the long-green grasshoppers from eating the leaves of our plumeria tree?

Thanks,

Answer
April,

You might try neem oil insecticide. Neem oil is a natural product and very safe and easy to use as a spray. It is effective against many leaf feeding insects but you'll want to test a small area first to make sure it does not hurt the plant. Here's a link to information about neem oil http://www.livingwithbugs.com/neem_oil.html that may be useful.
