Application:
Nolo Bait
• For best results, apply when most grasshoppers are in the 3 rd instar (12 to 19 mm long).
• Apply by hand, seed spreader, turbine spreader or airplane. Concentrate the application in areas of heaviest
grasshopper infestation.
How it Works:
Nolo Bait must be consumed by the target insect to be effective. It infects the fat bodies of most species of grasshoppers
and some crickets. Infection and sickness of the grasshopper begins upon ingestion of the bait by the grasshopper. As the
Nosema locustae population increases inside the grasshopper it becomes lethargic, reduces its feeding and has lowered
reproductive capacity. Grasshopper death will begin in 3 to 6 weeks. The pathogen may remain in the grasshopper
population for several years following treatment.
