Forget about the Japanese beetles, my garden seems to be infested with tiny grasshoppers! They've eaten pretty much all the leaves off my salvia, so I ended up skipping the rebloom I could've had with it and cut it down nearly to the ground. Now they're focused on another area of the yard that I'm not so worried about (it's just a weedy patch), but I'm afraid they'll come back.

Will insecticidal soap work on these guys? Or is there anything I can do to prevent them? When they swarm in and attack a plant, they pretty much destroy it in 24 hours...no lie. :(
