A grasshopper got into the house and ate my plant. Is there anything I can use indoors to protect my plants?

    Use cinnamon! Put a bit in your soil and sprinkle it on the top layer of the soil as well. It repels grasshoppers and other insects without affecting the plant!

      Thanks! Can I do this to all my house plants?

    Completely agree with Tabi here. Lovely aglaonema, btw! I sadly had to gift mine to my cousin because of my dog 🐶. Cinnamon also helps as a natural fungicide, and as an extra tip, I found my aglaonema really like bottom watering, and bottom watering helps prevent attracting pests like fungus gnats to moist top soil. Hope this helps!
