Does anyone have any tips on how to catch loose crickets? I noticed far too late that the small crickets can get through the screen lid of one of my tanks (i just thought the critters had eaten them). So far I have caught nearly 20 of them in my room (well, my cat caught some of them) but I still glimpse a few running around. My parents will freak if they find out and/or find any somewhere else in the house. Any ideas?
yeh go to livefoods.co.uk they sell small bug traps on their site. im sure american reptiles supplies will to if you live over the their. you could place a few bits of lettuce and that in a bowl and they probably will come out for it.
Yes, place a few slices of a fruit (like oranges) out and hopefully it will attract them. Use a container that has a lid on it, and lay it on it's side with the fruit inside. Then when crickets are inside, put the lid on and deal with them. Good luck!
HAHAHA! Put a couple of glue traps down behind dressers and along floor boards with a piece of fruit in the middle, you will have caught all or most in a very short time, with no chance for escape! Sharon
I agree with Ferret Corner! I had this same problem and bought some of the glue traps and it caught them. Good luck!!
I leave dirty underwear on the ground they gather there, then hairspray them to death! perfect lure, who would have known.
lol unlucky, i had the same problem, not as bad as yours but i mean i had them in the walls of our kitchen - because they had escaped in my room and i tried to kill them but thy went under my desk and into a crack. the bad thing was that my dad bought noisy ones that day accidently so for a week we could hear crickets everywhere! but even weirder~ there was one in the loft!!!!
