Natural Deterrent to Grasshoppers

What's left after the grasshoppers visited the squash
Little tiny grasshoppers, hundreds of them, have taken over the squash plants. I searched online for an organic method of getting them off my plants.

1 part molasses to 6 parts water, mixed in a bottle and sprayed on the leaves made the grasshoppers scatter.

A week later I found one more grasshopper, that was about 3/4" big, and hit him with the molasses mixture. He's nowhere to be found today.
