Tweezers, fingers, needle nose pliers... Bunch of things will work.

eat them they are good fried. Or crush and bury in plant. Silica keeps creeps away, stop using two weeks before harvest or not. I give every feed, toughens them up. I dont smoke leaves so l dont care. Plants too tough for a bug to eat. Strong limbs too.

Full grown hoppers, bait is best. Spraying is for other stages, how many do you have?
You can spray if you have tons, but that just means they have to eat more of your leaves to get sick. Bait is more concentrated.
Wheat bran. canola oil, and {your biotic} makes a paste you can spread.
Nolo looks easier for a small area. Check the date
Shelf Life: This product will remain active for up to 13 weeks from the date of formulation. If refrigerated add 30 days to expiration date; if frozen add 90 days.

If you're growing outside you cannot get rid of them you can only control them as more will just keep hopping into your grow area. Whatever you do don't spray anything harmful to beneficial insects outdoors. I'll let a grasshopper chomp on a few leaves before I'll spray anything that could potentially harm even a single honey bee. Plant some clover, alfalfa, or another favorite food of the grasshopper away from your plants so they go there for dinner. That's a natural method.
