Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide might kill those grasshoppers that contact a treated area but it is not labeled for them so would not be recommended for control. A liquid bifenthrin product would be a better option. You should start applications before the grasshoppers have a chance to hatch. You should thoroughly spray your lawn and water in the application with about a .25 in of water to help the bifenthrin get past the thatch layer and into the soil where grass hoppers actually develop. If you already have grasshoppers you can use Talstar P at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per 1 gallon of water for the quickest knockdown.
