How the fuck do you get rid of a cricket?!?!!?
 

this thing is pissing me the hell off.
I cant find the fucker, and everytime I think I am getting close, the sound moves to the other side of the room.
The sound is being thrown around like all hell, it doesn't just come from one specific area so it is really hard to find.

I'm about to start smashing my head against the wall.

Any suggestions?

We get them bigtime in august here. there are about 10 fucking around in the backyard right now

You should try for a LBW :1orglaugh

get a lizard and let him loose, he'll find it.

i think i heard that if you put a wet towel or a cup of water in the area they tend to go to it

be careful ...
crickets are VERY good luck if one moves into your house.

(I think they eat bugs too?)

i'll try it, thanks

fuck that.
if it was very good luck, then I would have caught it a half hour ago.

Buy a gecko.

You mean a Geico :1orglaugh

Thanks for the suggestion. Really helpful.
I'll just run out and buy a gecko at 12am, and let the fucker loose in my apt.
Then tomorrow there will be a thread named:
"How the fuck do you find a gecko!?!?!?!"

:1orglaugh

Get a cat.

Dude, you will NEVER find that cricket. I keep geckos and feed them crickets. Every now and then I get an escapee from the tank -- and I hear the trill of little cricket legs for months! I guess I should have said get ear-plugs. Good luck!

PS: geckos make cool pets and chicks dig 'em.

you know...
i would loose the cat in my apt as well...

MONTHS?!?!
I'm not going to be able to stand this for another couple hours, no less months!

Looks like im just going to have to move out of my apt...

They can subsist on the merest fuckknowshwat for food, tuck themselves in some cranny, and just ---- TRILL, TRILL, TRILL, TRILL...



If you can track him down to a moveable object, submerge it in the tub until he's dead.

time to call the pest guy
