markcic Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 The two in the house that I haven't been able to touch with my shoe are driving me nuts. One is apparently under the bathtub. It drove me out of bed and to the couch last night. The other one appears to be in the air return just out of reach. Too bad no place with cricket killer is open right now. I think I might have to sleep with my ear muffs on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I couldnt hear a cricket if it was on my shoulder. That range of my hearing is long gone. I kinda envy you Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajarrel Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Small thermonuclear devices in the 20 kiloton range usually work best at eradicating crickets:ph34r: (of course there are the usual side effects of missing house and possessions with mildly elevated radiation levels) dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) I spray Tempo SC Ultra inside and outside of the house. It's been so dry here this summer that I have only had to apply it once. Takes care of almost all insects. It's a Bayer product and it's good stuff. FM Edited August 7, 2007 by Front Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD Niner Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 If you buy about a half dozen snakes and let them loose in your house, your crickets will soon be history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Man Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 If you buy about a half dozen snakes and let them loose in your house, your crickets will soon be history. I think I'd rather spray insecticide! But snakes eat mice; I like that! I just don't want to wake up with one in my bed! Oh no! :lol: FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 On the other hand, tradition indicates that crickets in the house are good luck. But I couldn't sleep with one going off near me, either. Weird problem. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reneet Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Last time I had a cricket keeping me awake was at the 2006 Limited Nats in Barry. I was staying at the B&B in New Salem and told the owner of the problem. Upon arrival back at the B&B that evening, she notified me that the cricket was gone. What service!

markcic Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 One word..IPOD. Nah, IPOD isn't the correct word. I was thinking 870. Not quite. Yet..... "Luckily" I'm out of town in a hotel for a few days. Luckily in quotes because the bed here is better than my my own and there are no crickets in my room which only makes going home even worse.

ysued Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) I stopped complaining about Crickets when I found that 4" Scorpion in our downstairs bathroom. We hired pros to take care of the property. They are coming back in 2 weeks for a backup service then every quarter. No more bugs.
