I've also had trouble with these pests on my peppers and certain flowers (yep - peppers). The only truly effective deterrent I've found is a product called BioNEEM, from Safer. Apparently, it disrupts the desire to reproduce and feed. VERY EFFECTIVE. I've found it to be effective on most garden pests, including grasshoppers. You can find it on Amazon. Check it out and good luck!
