I have no idea if that would work- it works best on soft-bodied insects.
I really don't have an answer for you on how to get rid of them organically.

Hi,
I don't have a huge grasshopper problem...but there was one pesky green type that kept biting the heads off my Mondarda...and he even attacked my coneflowers!
I just keep trying to attract more birds, hoping they will help the problem!
Maybe a little Neem oil will help?

The nerve of that little pest!
Attracting birds seems like it should work! Easy enough to do too
