There are a bunch of baby ones all over the plants on my patio and they are eating all the leaves. Is there a good pesticide or something someone can recommend?

Go to Walmart or Home Depot and get some liquid "Sevin" (carbaryl) insecticide, this will control the hoppers and anything else eating on your shrubs. It comes in various forms.... a concentrate mix, a ready to use 32oz spray, and a hose spray applicator formula. Here is a link with a pic and info on the product. Hope this answers your question.

First of all are they grasshoppers, or are they really small then they are affids. If they are grasshopprs you buy a praying mantis egg sac at the garden section of your hardware store and hatch it so the mantisses will eat the grasshoppers, or if they are affids then go buy the bag of ladybugs at the garden section at your hardware store and they will eat the affids.

Try getting some raid garding poison. It won't kill youre plants so don't worry.

just go to the store (Lowes/Home Depot or Wally World) they have all kinds of plant sprays...you should have sprayed BEFORE the bugs showed up, in the spring...
