Crushed egg shells are an excellent repellent you may also find you may have a resident locust. 
As soon as I kill my resident locust, another one moves in a couple of weeks later for a feast.

Interesting fact # 23865

One of the few things I learnt at school was that grasshoppers are only called locusts when they are in a swarm. So, there's no such thing as 'a locust'.

Ain't the English language fascinatin' ?  :)

Thanks snowtop don't know why I didn't think of eggshells before as eat enough eggs when in calis, didn't know preying mantis could fly until this beastie landed on the balcony, unless someone tells me it's something else?

Definitely a mantis. They can be a bit scarey when they go into threat mode, but they're not dangerous.
