2025 Saskatchewan Grasshopper Survey
Grasshopper populations were greatly reduced in 2025 compared to 2024, and accounts of control were limited. However, some populations were still present and may have been numerous in limited locations in central Saskatchewan. Please be advised that the map is representation of approximately 1,149 sites across the province that were sampled and that colours associated with areas are subject to a smoothing effect that may hide local hotspots. It is also possible that sites with elevated populations were not sampled and therefore not reported.
This survey targets to assess four roadside sites per RM for grasshopper density. High local populations may not be reflected in this map. There are several factors that can influence next year’s populations including the numbers of grasshoppers present in a region. These include temperature and precipitation, both during the current growing season and in the following spring.
