Get some of the fine netting that they put over fruit trees. Keeping them out is more an issue than killing them as more will keep turning up.

I spray "BugBgone" on all the grass around my plants in and around my greenhouse and it lasts about 2-3 weeks and keeps everything away and the best part is not having to spray the plants with anything.

Yeah, prevention is always better than cure.

RSPCA or some animal rights for grasshopers would be interested in your techniques.

 

Some sort of netting would be best - catch them if you like but watch out for the Confederated Grasshopper League (CGL) there a pretty crule organzation themself - "hit squads"
