Important Notes: Also see Environmental side effects of grasshopper control: Nontarget effects and ecotoxicology information. Pesticide registrations change frequently. As of 2004, Acephate is no longer registered while Dimilin is registered by EPA for rangeland grasshopper control.

Grasshopper control does not take place in a vacuum but in complex rangeland ecosystems. Researchers funded by the Grasshopper Integrated Pest Management Project carefully studied the effects of various control regimes on aquatic organisms, small mammals, birds, and bees. (Photo by R.
