Crickets stampede

[justindh1]

So I got home the other day and noticed a crickets crawling around in the front room, and then another one, and another one, and another one, and so on, lol! I guess i had a piece of cardboard that was leaned up in the crickets container that allowed them to crawl up and get out the holes. I ended up catching probably atlest fourty 40 crickets throughout the night. Me and my do was chasing them down and i would catch them and he would smash them. Its was kinda fun at first then it got annoying chasing them down. I wonder if i'lll find anymore when i get home today.

This made me think and wonder! Theres always a cricket or two that escapes everyonce and a while and how do they not reproduce and create a cricket infestation, lol! Theres has to be someone out there that has been over ran by crickets in their house after a few or a few dozen escaped. Makes me wonder what could happen.

My container with 500 crixs fell over just last week...:furious3: What I did was put a sock over the end of the vacuum and suck em up, drop them in the tub and suck some more. This way they didn't die and I didn't have to sleep with crixs crawling on me. You might here a few chirping at night but they die pretty quick, and they dont breed unless of course you have dirt floors.

Cat's have a unfavorable way of knocking over the cricket container -- especially right after I fill it!!:annoyed:

Have had to listen to a lone cricket chirping at all hours for a week or two, but never had an infestation. They don't last that long... TG!!!

use glue traps to catch them. granted u cant use them over agian or feed them to geckos but it does work to collect them. and hey maybe you wll catc ha mouse or two at same time by having live bait lol.
