Mattog22 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Me too, they seem to be worse this year. I have become an experienced cricket hunter. Those and funnel web spiders I find in the basement and around the house. They get bigger than a silver dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserb Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yesterday I watched an Orb Weaver spider in my backyard gift wrap a cricket. I thought now if I had 100 or so of these spiders I would not here all the chirp chirp chirp noise at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry cazes Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) I hate crickets....The noise is like fingernails on a blackboard to me. Get a cat. They seem to love chasing and eating these little critters. When we had a cat, we didnt see many crickets but we did see random parts as aftermath. Apparently she did not like the legs.

Carmoney Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Yeah, I hear ya. Getting pretty sick of lying in bed at night and hearing "when you wish upon a star....." Edited September 11, 2010 by Carmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Catch them and sell them as bait or pet food (some lizards subsist soley on them). Turn your hate into profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uno5885 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Amen. I was sleeping over at my ladies place last weekend and she was snoring something bad so I went down in the basement to sleep on the couch and as soon as I laid down, the cricket started. The worst are the cave crickets with those long legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 My wife gives me major bonus points whenever I whack a cricket. Funny thing, years ago I chased one around my house for days on end...until I realized it was a whacky sounding smoke detector battery dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkin Chunker Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I hate crickets in the basement while i'm trying to load or veg on the computer DIE HELLSPAWN!!!! +10. There are only three kinds of 'good' crickets. Dead ones. The ones on a hook in the water. The hundred or so I turned loose in a jerk's car.

JThompson Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I read the post and thought about how much it sucks.... two days later I hear one of the bastards in my computer/office/reload room. Little bastard made racket for three days before my little Cairn Terrier finally caught up with him. Good boy! JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
